Friend –
“Tonight I addressed the American people on the future we face together.”
“Though at times it may seem uncertain, it is a future that is ours to decide, ours to define, and ours to win.”
- (So how much input do you feel you’ve had in deciding our countries future the last few years? Probably not much but the impact of our governments actions are far reaching and they impact our country, our future and our childrens future!)
“I know we will.”
“Because, after the worst recession in decades, we see an economy growing again.”
- (How well is the economy working in your community? So what is causing the economy to grow? Is the economy actually growing? If you don’t see it then it isn’t happening!)
“Because, after two years of job losses, we’ve added private-sector jobs for 12 straight months — more than 1 million in all.”
- (So we have nearly 10% unemployment and our government has done nothing to help business grow and in fact has added a whole new level of uncertainty and cost to business. The economy has managed to add jobs in spite of a government hostile to business!)
“Because, time after time, when our resolve has been tested, we, as a nation, have always prevailed.”
- (The problems we face come from corrupt and/or incompetent leadership at all levels of government. Without bold, fearless, moral leadership we may not prevail. It is critically important that every citizen take their voting responsibilities seriously.)
“Overcoming the challenges we face today requires a new vision for tomorrow. We will move forward together, or not at all — for the challenges we face are bigger than party, and bigger than politics.”
- (What is wrong with the ORIGINAL VISION FOR OUR COUNTRY? That vision limits the power of government over the people and ensures we all are free to pursue our dreams without the government getting in the way. This is why our President says we need a new vision one that lets the government pick winners and losers, run our lives and spend our tax money anyway they want to…How do you like that vision?)
“Yet the story of America is this: We do big things.”
- (We do big things when it is necessary and little things when they are necessary. Right now we need to do difficult things and our President doesn’t want to do those things!)
“Just as the progress of the past two years would not have been possible without your hard work, we will not realize the agenda I described tonight without you.”
- (What progress is he taking about? Forcing a trillion dollar Stimulus Package and National health care down our throats?! How about trying to put a carbon tax on everything including our homes? Gee I wonder what other big things he has planned?)
“So as we continue this great mission together, and we set out the plans for how far we can go, I need to know that you are ready to work side by side with me once more.”
- (There you have it our President is on a mission and he wants us to come along, I won’t go along with this how about you?)
“Will you stand with me as we strive to win the future?”
- (Why not stand with him at a time like this? Well we can stand but let us stand against his agenda and the mission he pursues against our will!)
“The last two years have been marked by unprecedented reforms and historic progress.”
- (Do you understand what those reforms are? Remember ‘Health care Reform” that was historic wasn’t it? A historic grab of power away from the people!)
“But there is much more work to do.”
- (As the Ronco man says ‘But Wait There is More!’ I know you almost can’t stand the anticipation waiting to hear what this President has planned to do to us in the future!)
“Moving forward, America’s economic growth at home is inextricably connected to our competitiveness in the global community. The more products American companies can export, the more jobs we can create at home.”
- (Why is our growth inextricably connected to the global community? Why can’t America create products for Americans? Do you know why businesses have moved out of our country? They have been run out by a government that calls successful businesses evil as they take more taxes from them and saddle their activities with ever increasing regulations!)
“This vision for the future starts with innovation, tapping into the creativity and imagination of our people to create the jobs and industries of the future. Instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy, let’s invest in tomorrow’s. It’s why I challenged Congress to join me in setting a new goal: By 2035, 80 percent of America’s electricity will come from clean energy sources.”
- (Our economy cannot run without oil and lots of it and that is a hard fact this President does not like! We are at a tipping point in technology that can ween our country from using gasoline as our primary energy source for cars and trucks, so why not put money and research there? Because this vision is not about securing a better future for America it is about pushing old ‘global warming’ solutions even as our winters get colder and colder!)
“It means leading the world in educating our kids, giving each of our children the best opportunity to succeed and preparing them for the jobs of tomorrow.”
- (In real dollars we out spend virtually all other countries when it comes to education. The key to improving education has to do with improving teaching methods and materials and involving parents in the process. Many schools are more worried about being politically correct than they are about teaching children!)
“We must build a 21st century infrastructure for our country, putting millions of Americans to work rebuilding roads and bridges and expanding high-speed Internet and high-speed rail.”
- (Who can argue with this? We need to improve our roads and our bridges but do we need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a new high speed rail system? Is that going to get us our of the recession? The real problem is these jobs are going be government jobs not private sector and that means the cost of government will continue higher. So in the middle of the “worst recession in decades” and when we have runaway government deficit spending this presidents vision says we need to spend money on a whole new transportation network, you better hold on to your wallet?!)
“We must reform government, making it leaner, smarter, and more transparent.”
- (Tell me if I am wrong but didn’t this president run for office promising these things? So did they actually do these things the last two years? No they did the opposite they made government fatter and dumber and less transparent!)
“And we must take responsibility for our shared debt, reining in our long-term deficit so we can afford the investments we need to move our country forward.”
- (Wow now we share the debt they ran up against our will?!! There we go again more “investments” code for runaway deficit spending!)
“That is the vision I laid out tonight. That is how we win the future.”
- (Okay what we really need…is to go back to the ORIGINAL VISION FOR OUR COUNTRY!)
“It is going to take a lot of work — but I have no doubt we are up to the task.”
- (I am going to let my congressman know that this vision is not my vision that my vision is contained in small brilliant document called “The Constitution of the United States of America”.)
“Half a century ago, when the Soviets beat us into space with the launch of a satellite called Sputnik, we had no idea how we’d beat them to the moon. The science wasn’t there yet. NASA didn’t even exist.”
- (Yeah and the Soviets were a mortal threat to us at that time and competing against them was key foreign policy for obvious reasons! What is our mortal threat today? It is a government that is not for the people anymore, a government that wants to invalidate the constitution and make us all subjects of the ruling elite!)
“But after investing in better research and education, we didn’t just surpass the Soviets. We unleashed a wave of innovation that created new industries and millions of new jobs.”
- (So our government is going to borrow and spend us into a healthy economy? This is insanity and we must not be silent!)
“This is our generation’s Sputnik moment.”
- (No this is the moment when the people, tired of being ignored, stand up and take our country back one congressman at a time!)
“Please stand together with me:”
- (Let Barack know how you feel, let him know where you stand.)

“It is because of each of you, who define the will of a people, that the state of our union is strong in the face of tough challenges. You are the reason our future is still bright in the face of deep uncertainty.”
- (So what part of his vision is an extension of the will of the people? Virtually nothing discussed here has to do with the will of the people! This vision is all about Baracks “Agenda” and his “Mission”!)
“And you are the reason I believe that future is ours to win.”
- (If Barack succeeds do you and I win?! NO!)
Thank you,
Barack
