The Wall Street Journal reported…
Anyone who thought the recession and financial market turmoil would moderate
President Obama’s policy ambitions discovered the opposite last night. Far
from suggesting limits on Congress or federal spending, the new President
made clear in his first State of the Union address that he believes in
government power as the answer to our current difficulties, and he intends
to use it.
The folks had Human Events put it this way…
n past weeks while pushing for his $787 billion recovery package President Obama projected almost apocalyptic consequences regarding the state of the economy, but in his sort of State of the Union address Tuesday night Obama took on a much more optimistic tone, promising the nation that we will rebuild, recover, and “emerge stronger than before.”
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said…
Tonight we will find out if the mountain of debt our children and grandchildren are inheriting will get even higher. Every American who’s concerned about the jobs and prosperity that we are in the process of robbing from future generations of Americans should tune in. And pay close attention.
And then Jeb Babbin of Human Events added…
Forget all the conspiracy theories of a mythological “North American Union” combining us with Mexico and Canada. Barack Obama wants America to be an unofficial member of the European Union. The path he outlined in his quasi “state of the union” address is to remake America on the model of a European welfare state.
In a APNEWS story that DRUDGE carried on their front page, the reported…
President Barack Obama promised a nation shuddering in economic crisis Tuesday night that he would lead it from a dire “day of reckoning” to a brighter future, summoning politicians and public alike to shoulder responsibility for hard choices and shared sacrifice. “The time to take charge of our future is here,” Obama declared, delivering his first address to a joint session of Congress.
The bottom line is that we better be careful and diligent as President Obama and the Democrats saddle this country, our children and yes even our grandchildren with a huge debt. The Democrat’s Obama Plan will end up being the largest expansion of government in our history, the largest expansion of our national debt in our history and still amazingly the almost ubiqutous and incredibly naive public reaction of “hope”. Wake up America, we are in for a very tough ride.
