Obama's Speech Last Night

I watched a little of the speech but it was too nauseating to spend much time on, particularly with the two clowns behind him. The most hilarious line in the whole speech: "As soon as I took office, I asked this Congress to send me a recovery plan by President’s Day that would put people back to work and put money in their pockets. Not because I believe in bigger government – I don’t."

He did a TON of rich people bashing, seeming to ignore that the vast majority of rich people got that way by working their butts off. And the fact that rich people are the ones who hire the rest of us. He also did lots of bank bashing, also ignoring the fact that banks made bad loans b/c they were forced to by the Democrats. And he bashed CEOs and corporate jets, as usual.

He mentioned that his plan to bail out homeowners who can't afford their mortgages would only help "responsible" borrowers. Oh really? How is the government going to determine who is a "responsible" borrower? I would just love to see the government guidance on who is responsible and who isn't.

Another laughable line: "And in each of these years, one million more Americans have lost their health insurance. It is one of the major reasons why small businesses close their doors and corporations ship jobs overseas." Oh really? I'm sure it isn't our punishing corporate tax rate, which you want to increase.

This is just frustrating. Oh well, if you want a little comic relief, you should watch this youtube video called "Democrats on an escalator".
