The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964

He only used "I" ninety-seven times...

That has to be a record for an Obama speech of that length.

And I was really surprised that “my” was used only once.

“Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.” – Ronald Reagan

Trivia: George Harrison was Obama's favorite Beatle.

“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.” –Wilkins Micawber, “David Copperfield”

Obama isn't old enough to have a favorite Beatle...

rbdwiggins (Diary) Wednesday, January 27th at 10:31PM EST (link)

But there’s no disputing the fact that George Harrison knew many like Obama.

Any other president but Carter,

This wouldn’t be a bad word cloud.

But neither Obama nor Carter could/can get away with it. No one is listening to what he’s saying right now. Everyone is just watching what he’s doing.

“If you do not have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.”
Luke 22:36

I hope so. nt

That's an accurate summary of the SOTU

aelie (Diary) Thursday, January 28th at 9:00AM EST (link)

Well, that’s an accurate summary of just about all of Obama’s speeches – filled with buzzwords that get repeated over and over again until everyone forgets what the speech was about in the first place. The SOTU wasn’t very different.

 

It's a pity.

Apparently it weeds out words like “I.”

“[I]f the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.” –Candidus in the Boston Gazette, 1772

Edited version of the speech...

leaving the “I” in the calculation.
