State of Hypocrisy

The State of the Union Address by the President last night was...audacious, to say the least. It was impossibly hypocritical of Obama to say that neither party should block a bill, due to the grudges and spite of certain senators (undoubtedly referring to the recent decease of the Democratic super majority), when, should the situation be reversed, he would have absolutely no problem with the Democrats blocking a bill by filibustering to high heaven! Obama said a lot and talked a lot about all the reforms that would take place this year, but he did the same during his election campaign and what has happened thus far? He’s been in office for a year now and the most consequential thing he’s done so far is to get the Nobel Peace prize…for absolutely nothing. Obama should be ashamed for trying to humiliate the Supreme Court Justices in front of the world by criticizing them on their conclusion that there should be no restrictions on corporate spending on campaigns (advocacy ads), which only leveled the playing field with the Democratic Union unrestricted advocacy ads for 100 years. Such hypocrisy. It makes total sense that the corporations should not be entitled to the same freedoms and say in politics that unions have had for many, many years. Unions that consistently support Democrats. I think it’s safe to say that the President has made an enemy of the Supreme Court for the rest of his term, unless of course he tries to undermine the Constitution, yet again, by wiping out the Supreme Court and filling the seats with his own men. Again, may you ask? Yes, again. It was unconstitutional for the President and the Democratic Congress to attempt to mandate Healthcare to the states. The constitution clearly makes a separation between federal and state governments and power. It was unconstitutional for the President to give the unions ownership rights over GM and Chrysler that they were not legally entitled to versus the bond-holders who actually held the legal rights. Never before has there been this great of an overreach of executive branch power into the private sector in United States history—it is simply unconstitutional and undemocratic. Finally, it was unconstitutional for the President to attempt to void and nullify the contracts of bank employees, whether they be right or wrong, simply because he did not like them. Contracts are legally binding. You cannot just tear them up because you don’t agree with them! Even if you are the President.
