But Most Americans Now Wish That He Would!

Obama To Push The Same Failed Agendas

Perhaps the he most revelatory words from President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address were the ones that he uttered near to the end of his speech, "I don’t quit’, and what became clear was that he intends to pursue his favored agendas that caused the loss of Massachusetts and most likely Virginia and New Jersey as well.

And many pundits are now considering that his rejection of the public’s will, might well cause Pelosi to lose control of the house.

What Does Obama Still Want?

He Implied That He Would Continue To Push For:

a) A government takeover of health care.
b) An already rejected cap-and-trade legislation that would raise taxes and power costs.
c) Another stimulus bill, even though only 30% of the first $700 billion has so far made its way into the system and the real jobless rate is now at 17.3%

It’s presently far too common for journalists to avoid mentioning the 17.3% figure which is the true one.

* Aren’t people that gave up looking for a job "unemployed"?

The Inconsistent Messages

After seeming to agree that private businesses create jobs, Obama then proposed some business tax breaks but then segued into promoting his big government ideas by suggesting that more subsidies for green jobs and mass transit projects like high-speed rail would be needed.

He then recommended a spending freeze on a small portion of the 2011 budget which the liberals are strongly against, but went on to add that it would not happen until after he had increased spending this year.

*  A ’spending freeze’ means that past spending increases will still be locked into the budget.

Obama Will Effectively Raise Taxes

Obama then boasted that he hadn’t raised taxes, but he failed to mention that he will let income tax increases go into effect – by letting the Bush tax cuts lapse at the end of this year.

An Attempt At Bi-Partisanship?

Obama seemingly reached out to Republicans by suggesting that he was in favor of more nuclear power plants and an increased exploration of offshore oil, but what he didn’t mention was that his failed cap-and-trade bill didn’t mention nuclear power or the expansion of domestic oil production.

A Call For Greater Unity?

Under the banner of bringing about unity, Obama went on to attack bankers, corporate executives and lobbyists and even verbally assaulted the U.S. Supreme Court for upholding the speech rights of companies in last week’s ruling on corporate campaign contributions, and we even saw Supreme Court Justice Alito mouthing the words, "Not true"!

Bill Clinton Saw The Light

Bill Clinton was quick to see that the only chance of survival was by moving to the political center after suffering stunning election losses in 1994, but Obama for all his supposed brilliance has not yet grasped the nettle, and his message still favored a big government approach with a possible smattering of tax breaks and other sleights of hand in an attempt to provide his extreme left wing policies with a different veneer.
