1. On what built America:

It is our unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country -- the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or who you love.

Huh? What happened to you didn’t build that? Last summer, Barack Obama said, “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Specifically -- government. Because no businesses ever existed before the Federal Highway Administration.

2. On Medicare:

And those of us who care deeply about programs like Medicare must embrace the need for modest reforms – otherwise, our retirement programs will crowd out the investments we need for our children, and jeopardize the promise of a secure retirement for future generations.

Modest reforms? Obamacare cuts Medicare by $716 billion. That’s hardly modest.

3. Speaking of Obamacare …

Already, the Affordable Care Act is helping to slow the growth of health care costs.

Then why are people’s insurance rates going up?

4. About that budgeting:

Let's agree, right here, right now, to keep the people's government open, pay our bills on time, and always uphold the full faith and credit of the United States of America.

The Democrat-controlled Senate hasn’t passed a budget in almost four years. How long has Obama been in office again? Since we’re on the subject, I feel the need to point out that under Obama’s leadership, our country’s credit rating has been downgraded for the first time in history.

5. On Oil:

After years of talking about it, we are finally poised to control our own energy future. We produce more oil at home than we have in 15 years.

Yeah. Thanks to leases made by President Bush before Obama took office. President Obama has done nothing but hinder domestic oil production by instituting drilling bans, shutting down the Keystone Pipeline, and blocking access to oil, among other things.

6. On Housing:

Part of our rebuilding effort must also involve our housing sector. Today, our housing market is finally healing from the collapse of 2007. Home prices are rising at the fastest pace in six years, home purchases are up nearly 50 percent, and construction is expanding again.

Home prices are rising at the fastest level since 2007 because the falling prices have finally stagnated. Tell me -- is your house worth as much as it was in 2007? Mine sure isn’t.

7. On preschool:

Tonight, I propose working with states to make high-quality preschool available to every child in America.

You know, because state-run schools are so awesome. *insert eye roll here*

8. Run for the border:

Real reform means strong border security, and we can build on the progress my Administration has already made – putting more boots on the southern border than at any time in our history, and reducing illegal crossings to their lowest levels in 40 years.

It’s almost kind of sad that the economy is so bad that illegals aren’t even bothering to sneak into the country for work anymore. Also, I have a hard time reconciling this statement with the whole Fast and Furious thing. Just saying.

9. Raising the minimum wage:

Tonight, let's declare that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty, and raise the federal minimum wage to $9.00 an hour.

Let’s raise it to $50 an hour! Prosperity for everyone! Wait, businesses can’t afford that? What about the ones that can’t afford to pay $9? They should go out of business? But then what will those people do for jobs? Oh, never mind. Food stamps.

10. On foreign relations:

All this work depends on the courage and sacrifice of those who serve in dangerous places at great personal risk – our diplomats, our intelligence officers, and the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.

RIP Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty. You guys made the ultimate sacrifice in Benghazi.

11. On gun control:

Just three weeks ago, [Hadiya Pendleton] was here, in Washington, with her classmates, performing for her country at my inauguration. And a week later, she was shot and killed in a Chicago park after school, just a mile away from my house. … Hadiya's parents, Nate and Cleo, are in this chamber tonight, along with more than two dozen Americans whose lives have been torn apart by gun violence.

By all means, let’s enact strict gun control laws like the ones that have in Chicago, where this murder took place … oh wait.

12. On voting:

We should follow the example of a North Miami woman named Desiline Victor. When she arrived at her polling place, she was told the wait to vote might be six hours … Desiline is 102 years old.

What the heck is wrong with the people of North Miami that they wouldn’t let this poor woman cut in line? Have some respect for the elderly, people!

13. Final thoughts:

God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Finally. We agree. God bless this great nation. Because we need it as long as you occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!!

I'm making popcorn now. Good post Barnes, now we'll wait for our MMT lawyer's rebuttal.

"Tonight, I propose working with states to make high-quality preschool available to every child in America." ~ Obama

What this means, is that Obama does not want mothers, or private church run programs having a hand in raising children.

He and Hillary do not mince words, when they believe the state should be indoctrinating your children in the most formative pre-k years. They need to plant the seeds of socialism early, teach homosexuality, evolution, humanism…, and start programming the mindless big government idiots, less they start thinking on their own.

Science has proven that the most formidable years for children development and growth are between 0-6 years....Preschool age.

What do the Third Reich, Taliban and every other communist or oppressive government have in common? They turned their education system into a state run program to plant the seed early. When did they get their first introductions to the socialist way?......Preschool.

Something to think about.


LEGEND....as for Dean Guidry's rebuttal? I careless to entertain it or him because what I posted came directly from the Haji terrorist living in the white house. Can't debate that. Facts are facts.

Rubio did a good job on the rebutal

I didnt feel like reading through all the long comments so idk if you said any thing about this but did you guys see Rubios responce to Obama? I think he might get my next vote, and i thought it was kinda funny he was wearing a tie that resembled the presidents.

I personally don't think it really matters WHO is put in the White House. Once they are in there, he/she will be turned into a puppet. Obama said decent things back in 2007 and before. Once he got into office he changed. Like they all do. Now he is changing again.

I think ALL of DC needs to replaced and things need to change to the point that they are not wanting to make a life out of it.

Here is a list to start with:
1. No politician can propose a bill that will not pertain to them.
2. No laws can be passed that will exempt any politician.
3. No politician can hold more than 2 terms in any part of gov’t. No going from house to senate.
4. Pay for all politicians will be equal to the federal average median income for their 1st term. If they are re-elected, they will be paid 2 x federal median incomes.
5. Once a politician is no longer in office they become a citizen like everyone else. No perks after leaving office. You will live like everyone else and play by the same rules as us.
6. All politicians will face the same criminal process as civilians.
7. Public released background checks for all nominated politicians.
8. All politicians WILL pay their taxes. If they are found to owe taxes, they cannot run for any office that year. They also will pay penalties on those unpaid taxes, just as the rest does.
9. Any politician running for any office that has a felony on record will not be eligible for any office. Misdemeanors will be looked at on a case by case basis.
10. Foreign aid to countries that don’t like America will get cut off.
11. All proposed laws will be read thoroughly and understood. They will also be shown to the citizens before being implemented.
12. One law/bill is to be proposed at one time. No more lumping pork together.

I'll run your campaign! When do we start?

the comment - "Obama said decent things back in 2007 and before. Once he got into office he changed. Like they all do. Now he is changing again"

I am going to strongly disagree with that statement. He told us from the beginning that he was going to radically change America, and that is what he is doing. He told us from the start that he was going to punish the rich, and raise taxes, and that is what he is doing.

He was a radical from the start, and nothing has changed. He declared his run for the senate seat in the house of a known terrorist. That terrorist blew up bombs in major cities, trying to spur a communist revolution that would murder millions of American capitalists.

As soon as he was elected, he surrounded himself with fellow radicals and communists. This should not be a surprise, being he was mentored by a communist.

He is systematically destroying our economy, and is also destroying our military.

America elected the enemy. It is like letting the rattle snake guard the hamster cage.

Radically changing America means knocking us down to size, and taking away the super power status. This is what Obama's father wanted, and it is what Obama wants.
