I watched President Obama give a speech in Michigan this morning. He DOES deliver a good teleprompter served up speech.

Obama is charming and knows how to work the crowd.

But…. this does not work with governance and polict which have been a disaster for the American people.

Will candidate Obama be able to persuade voters to give him another four years?

Fool me twice….

Chris, it appears Damon is taking lessons from President Obama.

Look at yesterday’s video where Obama and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer got into it when the President arrived in Arizona.

Is the President now trying to look tough or what?

Must be the Chicago way…..

Chris, you say Obama’s pants are on fire?

Well, yeah, I guess you are correct. Look at his moaning on tax “FAIRNESS.”

Are wealthier Americans really not paying their fair share? Here are some numbers on income inequality:

1. The top 1% pay 36.7% of fed income taxes, earn 16.9% of adjusted gross income (as of 2009).

2. The top 0.1% pay 17.1% of taxes, earned 7.8% of adjusted gross income.

3. The average income tax rate for top 1% is 24%. The bottom 50%? Just 1.85%.

4. The bottom 50% pay just 2.3% of income taxes.

5. Buffett chose to leave most of his fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, avoiding 55% estate tax.

According to the latest Gallup Poll.

By more than 2 to 1 — 58% vs. 27% — Americans would prefer that President Barack Obama use his State of the Union address mainly to make specific proposals for Congress to pass this year, rather than to outline his broad vision for the direction of the country. Republicans, independents, and Democrats share this view.

Most Americans — 66% — believe Congress will pass only a few of whatever proposals Obama makes in his speech, while one in four think some or more than half will pass.

Well, this will NOT happen because the President would actually have to BE for something that MAY be UNPOPULAR.

It is easier to give a teleprompter speech on economicvision and play the blame game against the Republicans in Congress. Class warfare also helps him to maintain his political base.

Look for both tonight.

What Americans really want is the President to address jobs and the economy and Obama will oblige – but not with any specific proposals, besides bashing the Republican controlled House.

Chris, before President Obama can be “spanked” at the polls the GOP needs to get through their primary process.

The time for choosing starts today in Iowa and it looks like a “push” election.

On to New Hampshire and South Carolina…..
