This Vietnam veteran knows the truth about the 'State of the Union'
A person would get far a more accurate picture of what Obama intends to do by simply flipping every statement he makes. Probably the best anyone could hope for in this address is that their favorite issue isn't mentioned at all. There used to be a time when i wouldn't watch W's speeches because it was obvious he'd do what he was saying. Now don't watch Obama's because it's obvious he won't.
Some things you won't hear the liar in chief speaking about tonight are torture, drone warfare, indefinite detainment, warrant less wiretapping of citizens, secret black prisons, secret military units or unconstitutional secret powers the government says it needs to protect your 'freedom'. He won't talk about corporate person hood, taxpayer funded banker bonuses, homeless veterans or home foreclosures either. But you will hear about gun violence and some empty promises about changing gun laws. You'll hear that some of the troops will be coming home from Afghanistan but nothing about how 11 years of useless war there will end with lottsa dead but little real change. Blah-Blah-Blah
As Jack Nicholson said in the movie 'A Few Good Men', Americans don't want the truth because they "can't handle the truth". The truth is The State of the Union is desperate. The truth is in America today the fearful and gullible many are ruled by a rich and greedy few. What American author Sinclair Lewis wrote about in his satirical 1935 novel 'It Can't Happen Here' is exactly what is happening in America today. It'll be happening before your eyes on TV tonight.
