Quick! Somebody figure out how to get rid of Minnesota's Governor Mark Dayton and replace the limp, ineffective, excuse of a governor with Indiana's Mitch Daniels. Screw Indiana - we need a great governor in Minnesota.
After hearing the Republican rebuttal to Obama's State of the Union snooze fest, the Curmudgeon wants to kidnap Daniels. Now, understandably, the speech was written obviously by a team, but his delivery was calm, encouraging, intelligent and he was able to "sell" it with a subtlety that delivered his sincerity. He actually believed every word he said. So did the Curmudgeon. THAT would be the desired effect of a true leader for the United States.
Obama came across with a boring delivery but the polish that several years of practice can provide. The Curmudgeon thought that the applause from the Demo side of the room was kind of weak at times. The best part was when the camera stopped on Hillary Clinton. She looked bored silly and like she was having a tough time staying awake when Obama brought up Afghanistan. Her hair is really neat, too! It'll look really great when it gets down to her butt. Nothing says "snappy, old, hillbilly woman" more than hair down to one's butt. Some days, when it curls up on her shoulders, it feels like we're watching an episode of "That Girl". So chic'.
The Curmudgeon is SO sick of poor Warren Buffet's secretary and her tax bracket. Also tired of the whole "tax the rich" theme. If you make $1,000,000 a year, Obama wants your tax to be 30%. $300,000 out of your income? Wow! Guess somebody has to pay for all those food stamps.
No mention of the Keystone Pipeline, Obamacare or the failed stimulus handed over to all those big banks who are now in Obama's sights again. No mention of healing the world, either. Last but not least, he's appointing Eric Holder to the "Criminal Financial Fraud Unit". Hopefully, Holder will do better here than with Fast & Furious. He'll probably sell a million legitimate credit card numbers online to try to catch the Romanians who are mining and buying overpriced issues of Paranormal News.. Holder's financial sting will go wrong and be discovered only after a few people have been financially destroyed. Then, at the Senate inquiry, Holder will plead the 5th.
Obama is not doing well in a bipartisan Luntz focus group. They sure don't like him very much. They all agree that he is a good speaker, but it appears to end there. Interesting.
