So, we have this problem with Islamic fundamentalism. We’ve had it for some time now, as there are some within our military and the majority of the rest of the world considers that threat to be the largest we’ve ever encountered. Yet, last night, all we have seen and all we have heard is about patting Obama on the back for having solved the unemployment problem, (which of course, he didn’t do)…and lots of giveaways, which of course will be paid for by taxing the rich.
Well of course we’ve discussed and demonstrated several times in these spaces that taxing the rich does absolutely nothing to solve anything, except for modifying the leftist base. And that left his base needs an awful lot of mollifying of late.
As an example, only 16 percent of Americans feel that the government is telling us the truth with regards to unemployment figures according to a recent poll by yougov. That figure alone suggests that even the Democrats, thick as they can be sometimes, have finally caught on to the idea that they’re being lied to by the administration.
By the way, if you were watching, did you happen to notice Justice Ginsburg, doing her perennial Ruth Buzzi imitation, sleeping through the whole of the speech? Who could blame her for sleeping through that nonsense, I guess, there was absolutely nothing new or earth-shaking in it.
This administration is in trouble and they know it. The Democrats are in serious turmoil, and they know it. At a time when the American people are clamoring for jobs and for a response to Islamic fundamentalism and the president is out there spending the majority of his time in the State of the Union address talking about global warming, and about taxing the rich, there is clearly a disconnect going on. Of course, that disconnect has always been there, it’s just now the most obvious that it’s been in a long time. Last night, was a great many things, but primarily it was the largest sign yet that this administration, frankly, is circling the drain.
Let’s just hope the country doesn’t go down with it. To my mind, that stands as a very real and very dangerous possibility given the two years Obama has left to cause more damage.
