As all the channels will be covering “the chosen one” tonight, The Fed Up American was having a hard time deciding why to watch…and then I thought–”there has to be some entertainment value in all of this” and I decided to share my thoughts. Here then, are my “Top 10 Reasons to Watch Obama’s ‘State of the Union’ Speech Tonight”:
Number 10:
Count the number of times that Obama actually takes responsibility for something….ANYTHING….you know a GENUINE “The Buck Stops Here” kinda moment!
Number 9:
To watch the “Obama Teleprompter Ping Pong Game.” Count the number of times his head swings between the two teleprompters from left to right and back again as he gestures vehemently. (Note that the effect is better (and REALLY funny) with the sound off–and has the added benefit that you won’t have to listen to Obama!)
Number 8:
To see how many ‘new’ Enemies of America Obama can demonize instead of dealing strongly with terrorists! So far we’ve had the big bad bankers, the insurance companies, the doctors, those horrible Republicans, the Tea Partiers and most average Americans. So we wonder…who’s next? (And the corollary to this (and a bonus item) is to count the number of times he “apologizes” for America during the speech).
Number 7:
(Especially for all you Obama voters out there) To get another dose of that warm and fuzzy, “Hopey Changey” stuff that Mr. O dishes out so well. Hey, it worked before, and now that he’s called in David Plouffe to the rescue, he’s bound to try it again!
Number 6:
Count the number of times that Nancy Pelosi, sitting behind Obama on her throne, jumps up to madly applaud some liberal nonsense like the high school cheerleader she always wanted to be. Remember his last speech to Congress….they could’ve made an exercise video from her antics.
Number 5:
Wager on the number of times ‘poor Mr. Obama’ will have to rely on his old stand by…blaming Bush, Cheney, ‘the Previous Administration’ or Republicans for his own ineffective leadership. His poll numbers are plummeting, he’s GOTTA show it is just NOT HIS FAULT!
Number 4:
(Get out your calculator for this one) and count the number of times Obama says “I”, “me” or “my administration” during this speech. The record seems to be 132 “I’s” in the same speech. Then count how many times he says “I ordered.” (That makes him sound tough you know.)
Number 3:
Make your bets now, will we see the “tough” and “angry” Obama or a “reasonable” and “concilliatory” facsimile who ‘gets the message’ sent by the People of Massachusetts? Either way it is political posturing trying to cover his own political behind. But place your bets now!
Number 2:
To listen to Obama’s ‘really heartwrenching stories’ about American families in need (complete with in person examples sitting with Michelle) as he tried to sell us on the idea of paying higher taxes to help those poor folks while he and his entire family and entourage vacation in Hawaii during a recession to the tune of $4000.00 PER NIGHT! This will be one of those moments where what is good for the elite and what’s good for the masses are different.
And the number 1 reason to watch Obama’s State of the Union speech tonight is:
To see if Joe Wilson has the guts to yell “You Lie” again! And if he does, be sure to send him a campaign check tomorrow morning. Hey it was funny the first time, an encore could only be funnier….as would the Democratic outrage afterwords (where oh where is the civility in politics today? We’re so maligned….boo hooo….our FEELINGS are hurt!)
So it’s not all bad–and some very entertaining items to look forward to! I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I will.
