In light of today's auspicious event, the final State of the Union address for President Barack Obama, I decided to save everyone some time, and help a few others from falling asleep as they sit in front of their televisions. I have written my own State of the Union address It is direct, to the point, brutally honest, and written in bullet-fashion to point out that it doesn't take two hours and pages of useless political obfuscation and subterfuge to deliver one of these addresses. Granted, a whole bunch of folks are going to be angry with my conclusions. But I stand by every point I make, and I can back it up with facts, baby. The failures of the Barack Obama Presidency were destined. Obama if anything is a dedicated ideologue whose enmity for our nation's history and traditions was evident from the start. Remember the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's comment, "America's chickens are coming home to roost"? They certainly have, Jeremiah.
State of the Union, 2016:
* In seven years, the National Debt has increased over 100 percent, to at least ten trillion dollars. What exactly have we purchased that came with such a high price tag?
* Persons who have been unemployed for more than two consecutive years and no longer look for work are not included on the monthly labor statistics released by the Obama Administration. Real job creation is anemic. Not once in seven years has this Administration told the American people the truth about our employment situation.
* Race relations in America are the worst that they have been in my lifetime. Our first black president has made no legislative or executive effort to address the problems in the black community, including failing schools, high dropout rates, teenage pregnancies, single parents, rampant crime, proliferation of gangs, etc. Black Americans deserve to live in peaceful communities just as much as the rest of us, but we have seen nothing from this White House in seven years. Interestingly enough, Obama has no trouble finding a cute little black kid to stand nearby while he signs some Executive Action overreach law.
* The Obama Administration has yet to meet a progressive special interest group that it didn't love. The last seven years has seen the authority of the Federal Government used to force Christian bakers to bake for lesbians, not to mention the non-stop attack on anything in school that might make mention of a Creator. Thank goodness Michelle Obama's public school lunch policy is in place, as are those tolerance classes on transgendered folks. By the way, how about the White House bathed in the colors of the Rainbow Flag on the night of the decision by the Supreme Court? That was the day I realized just how much trouble we are in.
* In seven years, we have evolved from the world's only superpower to an emasculated, internally confused, self-loathing mess. It started in 2010, with the disastrous precipitous withdrawal from Iraq, and Hillary Clinton's New Start Treaty with Vladimir Putin, which, for all practical purposes, eliminated our last ballistic deterrent/advantage against Russia. Since then, we've suffered through (stumbled through) the Arab Spring, Benghazi, the Iranian political takeover of Iraq, Russia's annexation of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine, North Korea's never-ending nuclear research and provocations, China's ability to take unilateral action internationally with no repercussions, rampant terrorism all over the globe, Russia shoving us aside in Syria, and the sponsorship of the nuclear treaty with Iran, which is arguably the worst treaty this nation has ever signed.
The real problem, my friends, is not the list above. The real problem is, where do we go from here? First and foremost, we have to ensure that a Democrat does not return to the White House. Given the "State of the Union" in 2016, I am ASTOUNDED that a Democratic Administration in 2016 is even a possibility. And if we manage to get a Republican in the White House, who will it be? I would hope that the average American would recognize that the problems we face are much too dire to trust in the hands of a bullying, misogynist bigot like Donald Trump, but he seems determined to hang around for the long haul. I can imagine him deciding on whether or not to use our Armed Forces as if he were negotiating a deal on a block of Condos in West Palm Beach.
Addressing our serious problems will be a monumental task. I find myself wishing that we had Mitt Romney on contract, because his is the kind of honest business mind that we need to find a way out of this unfathomable national debt crisis. Truly, the debt and our need for real job growth and tax reform, have become issues of national security. As for ISIS and our international entanglements, I'm convinced that re-establishing our backbone is the best place to start. Tear-up that useless treaty with Iran (as if they were going to follow-through with their commitments), and welcome Ukraine into NATO. Flatten all North Korean nuclear research installations, and if you can find Kim Jon-un, drop a 500-lb. bomb in his lap as well. Those are just a few suggestions. Let us know how you feel.......
