SOTUA, real time

"...a massive tax increase they do not expect, and will not welcome..."

So the potus is yapping right now, he's much better rehearsed this year, his words are a lot more carefully chosen... very, very slick.

Oh funny, the left rose to their feet in applause when he said that Congress did not act on his social security proposal.

Anyway, his foreign policy is all based on his belief that America's job is to liberate the world. He takes this very seriously. We knew this when he ran the first time. He takes this belief very seriously, and it's why we all ridiculed him. It's his belief. America is not only the leader of the free world, but MUST be the leader of the whole world. It's a personal mission of his.

I wish he would take the Constitution of the United States as seriously. I mean, after all he did swear an oath. There's a lot of ways I disagree with W, but the worst are the constitutional violations. Guantanamo. Abu Graib. Domestic spying. War without a declaration. Faith-based social services.

There's also the maddeningly ignorant things he says, that makes him sound like a stupid ranch hand.

He's wrapping it up now.

There's a moment when he addressed the people of Iran. It sounded warm, but you KNOW that Iranians correctly saw right through his words to his real message, which is "we will invade you next."
