Lots of Laughs, but Sad Commentary
I admit I dozed off once or twice.
And for the first half-hour I thought I was watching a rerun of last year’s State of the Union address.
But I hung in there and Tuesday night turned out to be one of President Obama’s funniest addresses yet.
He didn’t tell any jokes, not on purpose anyway.
But I thought it was pretty amusing when he listed all the great things he’s done to end two wars, create millions of new jobs, reboot our oil and gas sector and provide affordable health care for all.
Another good laugh came when he blamed Republicans for everything still wrong with the economy, as if he hasn’t been the president for the last five years.
If it weren’t for those rotten House Republicans, he implied, by now everyone would have a 0 percent mortgage, a subsidized college loan for their kids and an hourly wage of at least $10.10. REST OF STORY
You’d think once in a while a Democrat would get so jazzed up by one of the president’s socialist ideas that she’d leap from her seat, give out a loud “Yee-haw!”
