Final SOTU thoughts


Obama never said “the state of our union is strong.”  That took tremendous guts — because it’s the truth.

All in all a very strong speech.  But the closing line — “I don’t quit” — was not the best reframing of his views.

What did you think?

    Why would I even care to listen to Obama when I could listen to Steve Jobs and his latest amazing gadget?

    A year in, Obama has become the fifth president in a row I’ve stopped listening to. Not that I’m sorry I voted against McCain and the pig with lipstick.

    Consider: no investigation into the Bush administration crimes, not even a Truth Commission. If Obama had been elected the local district attorney, it would be appalling if he refused to investigate crimes committed during his predecessor’s tenure. It would be criminal in itself if he refused to investigate crimes committed by and at the behest of his predecessor. A dereliction of his oath of office.

    Obama has now firmly embraced the Bush precedent of indefinite detention on the President’s say so. The arguments of his DOJ about the state secrets privilege are identical to Bush’s. No apology or recompense to Maher Arar. The banksters are still firmly in charge of the economy they looted. More billions being poured into the pipe dream of training an Afghan army from recruits 90% illiterate and 50% AWOL.

    Sorry, there’s been a change in tone and rhetoric, but damn little in substance. Certainly no change I can believe in. I’ve tuned out.
