Humiliating SOTU Moment Biden Says Refrigerators, Cellphones Got Laid Off. This is discrimination against electric cars, Freezers, Televisions, and radios. Call the ACLU!
BIDEN: "There weren't enough chips. Car prices went up. People got laid off. So did everything from refrigerators to cell phones." 🤔 pic.twitter.com/iPdGvdRrZP

Comments on President Trumps SOTU 2/4/2020.
Today, I wrote to @realDonaldTrump recommending that we delay the State of the Union until after government re-opens, as the @SecretService, the lead federal agency for #SOTU security, faces its 26th day without funding. https://t.co/K2oL8WGvqo pic.twitter.com/g3fIlxDbbK

Nancy Pelosi tells Trump to stay home for SOTU. In our opinion Trump should send her a two word reply. Word one starts with “F” and word two starts with “Y.”
Spanish version of Republican SOTU response had amnesty pledge. English version attacks leading Republican presidential contenders, Spanish version promises amnesty for illegals: what more do we need to know about the Republican establishment?
How do Obamabots explain the fact that his State of the Union was written at eighth grade level. In fact, it only one State of the Union address in the last seventy-five years was written at a lower level.
The drumbeat has been constant since the day BarackObama first burst upon the national scene: This guy is smarter than the rest of us. He operates on a completely different intellectual plane than mere mortals. He’s brilliant, you’re not.
So how do Obamabots explain the fact that his State of the Union was written at eighth grade level. In fact, it only one State of the Union address in the last seventy-five years was written at a lower level.
University of Minnesota Smart Politics explains:
The Flesch-Kincaid test is designed to assess the readability level of written text, with a formula that translates the score to a U.S. grade level. Longer sentences and sentences utilizing words with more syllables produce higher scores. Shorter sentences and sentences incorporating more monosyllabic words yield lower scores.
But Tuesday evening’s address beat even that.
A Smart Politics analysis of 69 orally delivered State of the Union Addresses since the mid-1930s finds the text of Obama’s speech to have notched the second lowest score on the Flesch-Kincaid readability test recorded by a U.S. President.
A little advice, Mr President:
No reason to dumb it down. Alan Grayson isn’t in Congress anymore.
UPDATE: Just to do a reality check, we performed the same analysis on a
couple other pieces of writing.
Paul Ryan¹s response to the SOTU was written at the 10.08 grade level.
Michele Bachmann¹s Tea Party response was written at the 9.00 grade level.
The University of Minnesota¹s explanation (excerpted in this article) was written at the 9.24 grade level.
IHateTheMedia.com¹s portion of this story was written at an 8.12 grade level.
Of course, no one ever called us the Smartest Blog In History.

The Editor wasn’t alone. Turns out most people found something else to do while the President conducted his annual lie fest.
Nielsen.com has the details:
On Tuesday, January 25, 2011 President Obama delivered his State of the Union address. The address was carried live from approximately 9:00 PM- 10:15 PM on 11 networks. The sum of the average audience for those networks was 42,789,947 viewers, with a combined household rating of 26.6. The networks carrying the address included ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, TEL, UNI, CNN, Centric, CNBC, FOXNC, and MSNBC. Viewership to last night’s address was down 18% from his address on February 24, 2009 and down 11% from his State of the Union address last year on January 27, 2010.
The trend is not the President’s friend. In 2009 drew 52,000,000 viewers and a 32.5 rating. In 2010 he rounded up 48,000,000 and a 29.8 rating. In 2011, it fell to 43,000,000 viewers and a 26.6 rating.
Unfortunately, the President’s ratings seem to be following the same trajectory as the economy.

Rachel Maddow loses it. She apoplectic that a good, reliable liberal network like CNN would violate MSNBC’s code of ethics and actually give time to an opposing point of view.

This is classic: One network that no one watches is offended that another network that no one watches would air a speech that people might actually be interested in watching.
The Fairness Doctrine, liberal style.
The networks’ response to Rand Paul’s response to the State of the Union was just what you’d expect. They pretended it didn’t happen. Just plain ignored it. They shouldn’t have.

They shouldn’t have. And neither should you. Watch it for yourself. Paul wants to slam on the brakes before we accelerate over the edge of the cliff. Unlike most politicians, he doesn’t mince words about the perilous state in which we now find ourselves.
“The Democrats have a conundrum,” Rand said. “You see, they really do believe that government really is the answer to all our economic and social ills. Yet they’re becoming aware that a debt crisis looms and they have no way to finance their dreams of bigger government … We are sick and tired of hearing that a program is wanted and not how we are going to pay for it.”
And that’s just the opening.
Go, Paul, go.
Prom night at the State of the Union was a complete sham. Republican sitting next to Democrat, each one adorned with a black and white ribbon instead of a corsage. The only thing missing was a rousing rendition of Kumbaya.

The fact that is was nonsense is clearly demonstrated in this interview on WLS Radio in Chicago. All the proof you could possibly need that it was an exercise in phony public relations, a farce concocted purely for public consumption is provided by idiot Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL).
How else can you explain that Davis doesn’t have the slightest clue who the person in the next seat was.
It was … it was … you know, that Republican guy.

In this State of the Union address word cloud, Obama said “America” a lot. He said “Americans” a lot. He said “government,” “people,” “years”, “new”, “jobs” and “make.” Funny thing, though. The words “debt” and “deficit” aren’t even in the top fifty.
President Obama said a lot of words last night. Oh, man, did he say a lot of words. It was almost as if the people who run Ben Bernanke’s printing presses wrote the speech.
As you can see in this word cloud of his State of the Union address, he said “America” a lot. He said “Americans” a lot. He said “government,” “people,” “years”, “new”, “jobs” and “make.”
Funny thing, though. The words “debt” and “deficit” aren’t even in the top fifty.
You might even say we had a deficit deficit.

The State of the Union Address summarized in one photo
CNN focus group results show pretty conclusively that the mere mention of the word “hope” triggered an immediate negative response from Republicans and independents. And Obama’s discussion of “health care” caused independents to turn on the him like cornered wolverines.
Fascinating research from CNN that should scare the hell out of President Obama and his team.
The also-ran news network conducted a focus group during the State of the Union Address. They hooked participants up to devices that allowed them to register their reactions in real time to everything the President said.

It’s fun to watch. Professionally speaking, that is.

President Obama, often noted as a former professor of constitutional law, got a little confused during Tuesday’s State of the Union Address. Uh-oh. He confused the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence.
President Obama, often noted as a former professor of constitutional law, got a little confused during Tuesday’s State of the Union Address. He said:
We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….
Uh-oh. Wrong document, President Obama. It’s actually the Declaration of Independence that says:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It is almost zenlike, young grasshopper, that one should attempt to teach that which one has not yet mastered.
What kind of grade would the ol’ professor give a student who made such a basic error?
A solid B+.

Obama does stand-up: crowd laughs when he talks about “overwhelming scientific evidence of climate change.” And as he left the stage, he said, “Thank you. Thank you very much. I’ll be here all week. Two shows on Friday and Saturday nights.”

We’re not sure what Matthews thought Obama may have become, since he’s constantly reminded us for the last year that Obama is America’s first black president and that’s the only reason conservatives don’t like him. But that’s what the MSNBC host said.

We’re just trying to imagine how Matthews would have howled if, say, Rush Limbaugh had made the same statement.
Once again, President Obama has done the unprecedented. During last night’s State of the Union Address, he attacked the Supreme Court.
Once again, President Obama has done the unprecedented. During last night’s State of the Union Address, he attacked the Supreme Court.
“With all due deference to separation of powers,” Obama said, “last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates to special interests including foreign corporations to spend without limit in our elections.
At that point Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito frowned, shook his head, channeled South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson and mouthed the words, “That’s not true,” which is highly-complex legal terminology that means “You lie.”
“I don’t think America’s elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests. Or worse, by foreign entities,” Obama continued. “They should be decided by the American people. And I’d urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps correct that.”
You’re right about that, President Obama. We wouldn’t want those evil foreign entities determining American elections.
So we’re sure you’ll do everything you can to make sure George Soros butts the hell out. And while you’re at it, maybe you can convince all those Chinese waiters to stop giving cash to Hillary.
