It featured more of the same: Let's tax the rich and blame everybody else. In other words, "shameless class warfare" that divides us between rich and poor, black and white, Hispanic and non-Hispanic, boss and employees, etc.
After the speech, Gov Daniels of Indiana gave the GOP response and the contrast was rather amazing.
Pres BO blamed Republicans although the Senate is actually controlled by Democrats.
He said nothing about Solyndra, other loan guarantees to companies going under and not a word of how 2,000 guns ended up in the hands of Mexican cartels.
At the end of the day, we heard another speech full of slogans and cliches but little about restoring confidence in the economy.
Gov Daniels reminded us that the private sector creates jobs not government. He spoke eloquently about Pres BO's mistakes, such as tying up $787 billion in a stimulus that did not stimulate OR a very unpopular health care program that a majority (52%) wants to repeal.
Joseph Curl has a great column today. I hope that you read it before the speech last tonight:
"There is one person — one American among the 300 million of us — who is not to blame for the state of the union. Everyone else, each of you, in some small or large way, bears some share of the blame, but not this guy. Not one little bit.
