obama, state of the union

[Danzig]

perhaps we could have a sotu drinking game? every time the prez says 'i'll do whatever it takes' you drink a shot of bourbon.
he will unveil 'new plans' for the economy. i have a feeling it'll be the same as the old plans. he will try to show why we should give him four more years, rather than one of the repukian bozos. i wonder if he'll mention the need to raise the debt ceiling again?

Hopefully it will finally be transparent

Jobs Bill- Let's borrow more money, go further into debt, so my Union supporters will be happy.

Environment- I declined the Keystone Pipeline because I care far more about the environmentalists than I do about any stickin job creators. Remember back three years when I said Global Warming was the biggest obstacle facing not only America but the world? I still feel that way, jobs be damned.

Economy- The debt is absolutely no concern to me so I intend to keep up the same spending seen in my first four years. Big Banks, GM, Fannie-Freddie, Goldman, and the new Solyndra's have nothing to fear. I will give you trillions more.

and now this, on obama's first t.v. ad:

Misleading Claims in Obama’s First 2012 Spot
Dissembling on ethics, jobs and oil imports
Posted on January 20, 2012 , Corrected on January 21, 2012

Summary
President Obama’s first 2012 campaign ad misleads on ethics, “clean-energy” jobs and U.S. dependence on oil imports.

■The spot uses outdated quotes from groups that said his record on ethics is “unprecedented” and that he “kept a promise to toughen ethics rules.” One of those same groups said later that he “has let down millions of Americans who accepted his word,” and another rated his promise as “broken.”
■The 30-second TV spot also trumpets a claim of “2.7 million jobs” in “America’s clean-energy industry.” That mostly counts jobs put in place long before Obama took office.
■Finally, it boasts that U.S. dependence on foreign oil has declined to below 50 percent, as a net share of total demand, for the first time in more than a decade. That’s true, and increasing U.S. oil production is a factor (despite Republican criticisms that Obama is anti-drilling). But economists say the chief factor is reduced oil consumption, brought on by the recent economic recession.

Meanwhile most technical analysts (that actually track these sort of things) anticipate his trillion dollar artificial balloon will pop and are pretty near all in agreement that we'll see 8000 again - very soon actually. Here's one:

Does Obama have some coupons saved that he's using to pay for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan?
