We can see all that Obama spending:



Obama is is slowest spending president in generations. Don’t want to take my word for it? How about the Associated Press:

Quote:
Obama rests his claim on an analysis by MarketWatch, a financial information and news service owned by Dow Jones & Co. The analysis simply looks at the year-to-year topline spending number for the government but doesn’t account for distortions baked into the figures by the Wall Street bailout and government takeover of the mortgage lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The MarketWatch study finds spending growth of only 1.4 percent over 2010-2013, or annual increases averaging 0.4 percent over that period. Those are stunningly low figures considering that Obama rammed through Congress an $831 billion stimulus measure in early 2009 and presided over significant increases in annual spending by domestic agencies at the same time the cost of benefit programs like Social Security, Medicare and the Medicaid were ticking steadily higher.

"Balanced" approach to cut the deficit: more taxes,....but not enough cuts to spending. More spending,...more spending,....more spending. Spend our way to prosperity.

Energy: the neverending rhetoric about "green energy",....but, excluding the millions/billions wasted on the effort already with companies like Solyndra.....

Maybe the speech will be a recorded version of what he said in the last State of the Union address.

Glad I have some programs recorded on DVR.
I wish that just one person would come forward and ask Obama how legalizing millions of illegal immigrants is going to help 23 million Americans out of work. Job creation? No, more competition for what few jobs there are.

You can ask that question from Rubio as well, because he is working overtime trying to get them amnesty, and he will deliver his own piece after the SOTU.

It's going to be more collectivist drivel, except on steroids now that he doesn't have to get re-elected.

Gonna be a great drinking game. Exploit gun-violence victims to push for gun control - DRINK. Illegal in the front row - DRINK. Insult conservatives - DRINK. Refer to "investments", which really means "more spending" - DRINK. Lie and say you've gotten rid of the deficit - DRINK.

Will Ted Nugent behave? Or will he cause a scene, perhaps screaming "tyrant" knowing it will go viral and make him even more a darling of the right?

I will record Judge Judy on my DVR and watch it, it will definitely be more educational, to the point, AND Much more entertaining than Obama.

AND, she's done more for the economy!
