Tuesday night we all get treated to another Barack Obama State of The Union Speech. What a thrill. Once again I'll find a nice book or a TV movie to watch. It's not that I'm not interested in the speech; it's just that I don't want to watch this man on TV and I don't want to hear his voice. The fact is I would be so distracted by my dislike for him and what I believe he's trying to do this country that I would really be able to concentrate on what he's saying. It's really a better idea for me to just get up in the morning and read the script. That way I can give an honest appraisal of what he said without my personal feelings about him getting in the way. I can still remember those words of Barack Obama. They're always there." In five days we will begin to radically transform this country." I don't know about you, but a radical transformation of this country wasn't exactly what I was looking for. And if your goal is to make a radical transformation, that would make you a radical. Barack Obama is a radical. Don't ever forget the words of Obama's big pal and union leader Andy Stern when he warned us that under Barack Obama we were seeing at the end of a market-based economy and the beginning of a government planned economy. Now if that's what you were looking for when you voted for Barack Obama, more power to you. But a lot of Americans seem to believe that capitalism and free enterprise has been the magic ingredient in the political process that lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system in the history of mankind. And these Americans remember vividly that Barack Obama referred, not once but many times, to the private sector as "the enemy". Words mean something, and referring to the private sector as the enemy means a lot to people who believe in economic liberty.

Another reason not to watch the State of the Union Speech .... All of that incessant cheering. It's not a pep rally, folks. You can read the speech in a fraction of the time it takes those characters to bounce up and down cheering and applauding for no reason other than to try to make political points.
