Decoding Obama's SOTU

Obama spoke in code last night, but if you listened carefully, knowing his political leanings, you could translate it pretty easily.

For example:

• Getting rid of Cold War weaponry that we don't need anymore = Unilateral disarmament.
• Saving money on Medicare by getting rid of procedures that don't make our seniors any healthier = Federal government control over doctors and health care rationing.
• Education from early childhood through college = Another federal power grab and intrusion into education.

Then there were the outright lies, leading me to believe that Obama is the most skillful user of the "Big Lie" technique of anyone we've seen in our lifetime.

• Bush spent billions on defense and the Global War on Terror, and government spending on entitlements is out of control, leading to a huge deficit. But what does Obama say? "A surplus became an excuse to transfer wealth to the wealthy instead of an opportunity to invest in our future." A big lie and class warfare as a little bonus.
  
• The current stock market and banking crisis was caused mostly by the government. Obama blames it on energy, health care, and education, so that he can cram his radical environment and social policies down our throats. (As my husband says, he's using the Rahm Emmanuel play card: "Never let a crisis go to waste.")
• He triples the deficit by rushing through a 1000 page stimulus bill that nobody even read, and then lies through his teeth by saying there were "no earmarks" in it, and by blaming Bush, at least twice, for the deficit he "inherited".
  
• He blames us for "piling up debt", then says he has to spend billions to get credit flowing again.
  

The speech was a point-by-point destruction of the principle of subsidiarity. No longer will local governments and the citizens themselves have control and oversight. The federal government will be in charge of everything.

That's all I can stomach right now.

Where were you when the Revolution was completed?

And where will you be when the Resistance really begins?
