âNow, even though the Teabaggers are incompetent and their propaganda channel makes up shit all the time â France is suing em for their latest boner even as I speak-- we wanna work with 'em. Up to now all theyâve done is say ânoâ when we tried to DO something. Ok. They have the keys to the car. Now letâs see if they can drive between the lines.â
Drive between the lines? Cue Joni Ernst.
Given how long in the tooth this âpost recessionâ the U.S. is and how high the level of real unemployment remains, itâs hard to imagine what pages Obama would âturnâ even if he had a Democratic majority in Congress. Except he doesnât. So in the narrow sense itâs political maneuvering. But in the big picture, as the representative and protector of Wall Street, itâs more cheerleading (i.e., the Presidentâs job), as itâs hard to take his âmiddle class economicsâ seriously, except as an expression of fear and warning about how long American workers and unemployed are going to live with the situation.
Maybe sheâll show up with her pig nutter.

You know, at least I have a little more respect for the guy (or gal) with the sledge hammer at the slaughter house, because they finish what they started.
âThatâs what middle-class economics is â the idea that this country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rulesâ
There you go.
Hammer this point from now til 2016.
I hope he comments on the great happenings in Europe. Our man Ukrainian Prime Minster Yatsenyuk said recently while in Germany that the Russia should not be allowed to invade Germany again.
I donât know why this isnât being trumpeted by the Administrator. Instead I have to link to commies who are oh so sad about it. Boo hoo.
What I find odd tonight is that the Governor of Michigan and the Governor of New Mexico both gave their State-of-the-State addresses on the same night as the Presidentâs State of the Union. Iâve never heard of that before. All I can think of isâŚHow rude. Just bugs me that either of these Governors couldnât have picked another night to do their own thing.

Iâm not going to read this article. I just want to state that I hate articles and news broadcasts that predict/report what someone is going to say.
Actually, it is hard to take your comments seriously. Look at the reasons for the supposed âlong in the tooth post recessionâ. Specifically the GOP stating from Day 1 of President Obamaâs term that their primary purpose was to stop the President. Those were the specific words used by Eric Cantor. No proposals, no negotiations. And then there was the classic line from Boehner that their priority was jobs while the GOP did not produce a single jobs bill. All the while, trying to shoot down the ACA over 50 times. Let me give you a hint: If the Democrats had the majority, there would be a rise in the minimum wage immediately. As opposed to the GOP wanting tax cuts for the wealthy despite the proven failure of trickle down economics (See âShrubâs Great Recessionâ) to help the economy or to create jobs. The GOP tax cuts did neither and they plus the two wars and the unpaid prescription plan blew the deficit sky high. Which by the way is now much lower thanks to the stimulus, the ACA and other Democratic programs. âFear and warningââŚthat is absolutely laughable. Job growth is stronger than it has been in decades, people have access to health care that they never had before, unemployment is under 6 percent, the stock market has sky rocketed which has helped the middle classâ 401ks tremendously, and the deficit is declining. Next time, do try to get a clue.

No good deed goes unpunished. Ask Governor Rick Snyder. The governor has been on a kick to exercise, which is not the easiest thing given his breakneck schedule.
Snyder hurt himself running âduring a rare family vacationâ and now wonât be able to walk down the aisle and shake the hand of the morons who ârepresentâ us in the Republican-controlled legislature.
I keep laughing at the columnist who writes this drivel.

Yes, another example of the disrespect shown to the President. I highly doubt other state of the state addresses have occurred on the same night as the SOTU before. The media should be all over this but of course they wonât mention it. They are probably hoping for another âJim Demintâ moment this evening. Wolf Blitzer is probably on pins and needles already.

I couldnât watch Snyder tonight. Not sure how much I can handle watching anything where I have to concentrate. I think Iâm coming down with somethingâŚthe flu maybe. I feel yucky. In any case, Iâm sure Snyderâs idea of combining the Dept. of Community Heath and the Dept. of Human Services into one, has some ulterior motive other than improving services. I just donât trust that creep.
OMGâŚI just tuned into MSNBC. Steve Kornacki is hyped up on caffeine, meth, or something. Heâs talking 70 mph, giving some kind of history lesson and Iâve already lost the gist of whatever the hell he was saying. He makes me dizzy.
