This direct statement, issued by Democrat Ike Skelton (D, MO), chairman of the powerful House Armed Services Committee, before Obama had finished his address...
"Somewhere along the line, the White House lost its way,"

"Instead of focusing on solutions to help America's families wade through the wreckage of the worst economic crisis since the 1930s, Washington has wasted valuable time wrestling with partisan politics in an effort to rush through drastic reforms that do not directly address our most immediate needs."
Ouch, and without a band-aid.

NOT TRUE replaces YOU LIE!

Very noticeable and much more significant was Supreme Court Judge Robert Alito's reaction, as seen in this composite photo from the video below...


As reported by AP, and seen in this video...

WASHINGTON -- The man in the House chamber openly disagreeing with President Barack Obama as he spoke to Congress wasn't an over-the-top Republican or a seething Democrat. He was a Supreme Court justice, Samuel Alito.

Obama had taken the unusual step of scolding the high court in his State of the Union address Wednesday. "With all due deference to the separation of powers," he began, the court last week "reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our elections."

Alito made a dismissive face, shook his head repeatedly and appeared to mouth the words "not true" or possibly "simply not true."
I would've preferred another resounding "YOU LIE!", but Joe Wilson was "stonefaced" during this speech.

Obama had it coming: there is a separation of powers, and he should not have run his piehole about a Supreme Court decision. Good for Justice Alito! A good man, there.

Did Obama tell much truth? A fact-check article written by Calvin Woodward finds some truth-stretching and avoidance, including
  • Obama's proposed three-year 'government spending freeze' would only save less than 1% of the deficit. He's proposed spending more than he'll ever save.
  • His 'bipartisan special commission', denied by the Senate but created by his own executive order, won't have any effect. His executive order is 'toothless'.
  • More unbelievable spins on his Health Care debacle. Obama's claims that we'll be able to keep our current doctors and plans doesn't mention that these plans, pinched by his newly-created taxes, would be free to limit services or 'pinch benefits'. Oh, and Medicare recipients (you old retired duffers) would find your benefits cut.
  • Obama bashes lobbyists, but fails to bash his own lobbyists. He just hates organizations like the NRA (a collective of "Community Organized" citizens who would spend to stop Democrats) and others who exist to protect the Constitution, but lurvs him questionable lobbying organizations such as the SEIU and ACORN (collectives of "Community Organized" citizens who would spend much cash to elect more and more Democrats (the LOOTERS), who then push for more and more taxes to pay for handouts to their voting base (the MOOCHERS). No U.S. Constitution will be allowed to stand in the way.
  • How many jobs created or saved, Mr. Prezzidint? YOU LIE! You've likely caused job loss; you can't prove otherwise. Unless of course you've hired more government employees (oh, and you have done that).
  • Obama actually stood up there calling for 'more openness' ("to do our work openly, and to give our people the government they deserve.". This would've been perfect opportunity for anyone in the audience to scream "WHAT ABOUT THE C-SPAN CAMERAS IN THE HEALTH CARE DEBATE, MR. PREZZIDINT????///??" But, strangely, the crowd was silent.
I could barely stand watching VP Joe Biden sitting up there, with his improperly medicated random eye twitches and random movements and gestures. Nuthouse, you're missing an inmate.

And Nancy Pelosi?

Worshipful, awestruck gazes. Just, wow.

This President doesn't need an intern to bring the pizza. Just send for Nancy, and close the doors.
