Declarations

Pres. Bush was a better teleprompter reader than Pres. Obama.

How to begin to fix the economy: (some starters)
1. Get rid of the EPA and allow permits for new oil fields, refineries and mines.
2. Lower the debt ceiling by 5% for the next 20 years.
3. Raise the Social Security retirement age by 6 months every year until the account is balanced.
4. Disband the Department of Education, call it a budget reduction.

I hate that blogger restricts "cut and paste". So irritating and what is the point?

The Persuasive Essay:
I usually don't have the patience to finish something I am writing and be able to call it a persuasive essay. I tend to write only when I am mad at something. But I realize a rant is rarely persuasive. It never works well but I will try again. Most of the people that need convincing don't listen to me.
So I will make another attempt at analyzing the President's state of the union address. I still haven't listened to Paul Ryan's response, or not all of it. I heard a couple clips on the radio that were very good.

Analysis of President's Speech
It begins with congratulations to the 112th Congress. But congrats for what? He never says. Speech writers are terrible. How can this start this way. Is he congratulating them for getting elected? Odd, that opening should have been a welcome, not a congratulations. First line is bad. Next line is about Giffords. She and her family have my sympathy but the story is abused. The calls for civility after the shooting in Tucson are stupid. We have two parties because people disagree. If we all got along then we would have one party. If we were stupid like the rest of the world we would adopt their ruinous parliament system and then we would have two hundred parties because people always disagree. Our third vice president shot and killed the secretary of the treasury. We have always had angry political arguments. Imagine if Biden shot Geithner. That would be a story. Brooks nearly killed Sumner when he beat him in the Senate with his cane. We are more civil now, it's just that there is a wider gap in our values. Socialist don't want the same things I do.

Paragraph 4 - "We share common hopes and a common creed." I doubt it but its hard to argue when I don't know what he is talking about. What is our common creed? I don't like Pres. Obama or anything he does. Pres. Bush was a socialist and irritated me with all his garbage. Now it feels like the end of the world. When the socialist and thought police are trying to take over I am not interested in cooperation. I want gridlock among the lawmakers and argument among the people. Cooperation is capitulation. Anger is freedom.

I thought it was lame that the parties were mixed in Congress when the president gave his speech. It just makes it easy for people to hide. I want to see which party stands and applauds. "Work together", "get along" Blah, blah. Pres. Obama is trying to ruin the country and I don't want anyone to get along with him or work together with him. Any congressmen who don't fight to cut the budget will be taken out in primary challenges.

Enough for now. Pres. Obama needs better speech writers.
