Obama Job Speech Viewership Off By Over 25% - Down 11 Million
President Barack Obama calls for a speech in front of a joint session of Congress (both the House of Representatives and members of the Senate in attendance - 535 members) in order to stem the tide of failure of his 44th Presidency. The only problem is that every one in the room (and apparently outside the room as well) knew that this President had nothing else new to add.
After asking for, and getting an increase in Government spending (read that as taxpayer funded borrowing) of about 2.5 Trillion dollars that included ObamaCare, Stimulus, Omnibus, with the corporate takeovers of General Motors and Chrysler ... then fighting for, and getting an increase in the Debt Ceiling by another 2.5 Trillion Dollars earlier this summer ... this President had the gall to ask Congress to grant him another 1/2 Trillion Dollars of "Jobs" spending (read this as "son of stimulus"). He not only asked for this spending, he insisted on it saying "Pass This Bill" 17 (seventeen) times throughout his speech.
Fewer citizens than ever are buying what this most progressive and most divisive Chief Executive our country has ever elected. Most citizens know why and it is simple ... this President got voted into office on fiscal prudence, no earmarks, transparency in the processes of law and bill creation (72 hour internet posting of all proposed bills before any vote), and unity with not one promise pursued once this man took office on January 20, 2009.
