Does it seem like BHO is going to be bolder now in rhetoric? I noticed he had a different persona in the SOTU speech. I didn't notice any indication that he is going to rethink any policy change. Rather, he made a case that his policy is the one to continue. It seems like he is going to veto anything sent to him with a position that it doesn't go far enough or that it goes back to a policy that he says doesn't work.

I picked up that any Keystone pipeline bill will be vetoed on the grounds that it does not go far enough. No matter what is in it, he will probably argue that it doesn't do enough to be worthwhile.

Any obamacare bill will be vetoed with him claiming that it doesn't save this or save that or that it will make matters worse.

Tax bills will be met similarly, making the condition that it isn't paid for unless taxes are raised on the rich because the deficit is on track or the budget will get messed up, affecting the improving employment figures.

There were words about Iran sanctions as being non-negotiable and quite a slap about his position on Russia being a victory to those who had admired Putin.

I think there will be more division and nothing will get done in a bipartisan approach. He certainly didn't come across as being ready to endorse any conservative idea.

Unless there's a rise in gas prices or threat of another recession, it will be tough to make the case against him.

He wants to supplement the stagnant middle income wage growth with tax breaks and sick leave along with a low income minimum wage raise. If the conservatives don't buy-in, I don't see much incentive for him to compromise and there may actually be an incentive for him to d**g his feet, blaming them for inaction.

It's somewhat ironic that conservatives have the Congress but are even more powerless to do anything as long as the economic and employment numbers rise.

"Bolder" isn't the word for how he will go forward. The RINOs are kissing his ass, only a courageous few are standing up against him. Obama has Carte Blanche now, and he's out to kick America's ass.

I found this on another forum:

Congress gave away any bargaining position they had when they passed the Cromnibus.

But RINO's always find a way to "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"

People do not realize that the consequences of economic policies do not manifest overnight, or in a month or even a year. The US economy is a ponderous thing. Some policies take years to make their effects felt. The current temporary improvement has little to do with anything Obama has done, but in classic Obama fashion, he takes credit for anything that is positive, and denies responsibility for everything else. The next time he owns up to a mistake will be the first.

He still thinks he was annointed as king and not elected as President. He believes he is above Congress and not just a co-equal branch of government.

Right after the mid-terms, when Republicans took the senate and more seats in the house - Obama said "I hear you - I get the message", in speaking "to the people" about what they had just v**ed.

It is clear that he has totally reversed himself from any such sentiment now.

It is just "I will veto - I will veto"

The SOTU address -- I felt he must have been talking about SOME OTHER COUNTRY.

"We're doing so great - we'll continue to be tough on terrorists"

We are NOT doing great - and terrorists are having a field day; while Obama continues to avoid ever using the phrase "Islamic Terrorist"

"Less dependent on foreign oil than in a million years, blah blah blah"

uh

are we tapping into Strategic Petroleum Reserve?

once it's gone -- it's gone, ya know

good grief

what WORLD are all these people in who gave him standing ovation after standing ovation?

JMHO Loc: Utah

Biggest bunch of blatant lies yet...this man is incapble of telling the t***h about anything. If you believed any of that B.S. last night, you're a fool, pal.

W8_4_It

Please tell me you didn't waste time watching that.

JMHO Loc: Utah

It was good comedy!

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

I can't imagine finding anything entertaining or funny about listening to a constant string of lies, the consequences of which are unimaginable.

WhatIt'sWorth Loc: Methane Sea, Jupiter

It wasn't funny - I agree with Blade_Runner

it was worth watching to REALIZE to what extent this c****e and his followers ACTUALLY BELIEVE THEIR OWN LIES

but yeah - cry - don't laugh

TWO HOURS of "glittering generalities" of how Obama has HUNG THE MOON and we all should be so grateful

I'm vomiting. But it was a wake-up call to watch/listen to all this tripe.

Loki Loc: Georgia

Do you ACTUALLY believe that the Prevaricator-in-Chief believes the crap he spouts? The adoring i***ts who idolize him certainly do, but he doesn't. He is just an astonishingly accomplished liar.

WhatIt'sWorth Loc: Methane Sea, Jupiter

I dunno Loki - sometimes I think he really believes the delusions he perpetrates

I admit he is an astonishingly accomplished liar, but somehow he is capable of "eating his own s**t" at the same time...

Liberty Tree

He threatens to veto bills before they are even passed, even those that have bipartisan support people are always calling for. He then demands that Congress pass any proposal he puts forth. He has no intention of compromise and if Congress does not pass the bills he wants he will do it anyway.

Ricktloml

Bold?! In your face contempt would more aptly describe how he feels about Americans who sent him the message they don't want or like his extreme l*****t policies. He has two years left to radically, fundamentally t***sform America into a collectivist state, and Obama fully intends to do just that.

And Obama's rising employment numbers are deceptive to say the least- A federal report concludes that ALL NET EMPLOYMENT GAINS since the Obama recession have gone to FOREIGN workers while 1.5 million FEWER U.S. born Americans have jobs now.
As for the spineless and useless Republicans, they are d********g, but they can't match the absolute corruption of the Democrats who are aiding and abetting Obama with his agenda to destroy this country
