AP On Obama's State of the Union Address: Of Course He Gets It, He's Totally With You And Stuff

Media coaches Obama, one more in a series of "hey, you should probably do this big ears."

In a time of deep economic insecurity, Obama will use this stage on Wednesday to offer hope after a grueling, grinding first year of his presidency, aides say. For the many who think the United States is still on the wrong track, Obama will attempt to present a clearer sense of how everything he's pursuing fits together to help.

Let's revisit how everything he's pursuing fits together to help.

Defense of the nation from terrorism. a) shut down Guantanamo b) erase any mention of terrorism from terrorist attacks accomplished and just mention those we stopped via luck which is an awesome strategy, and c) make sure we transition our efforts from the evil Bush doctrine of "stop them" to the way better Obama doctrine of "seek niceness" by rebuking force of arms and embracing the criminal justice system for illegal combatants.

Yay!

Repair the economy. a) spend a shitload of money on crap for those we are beholden to b) attack fatcats who provide jobs c) press forward to nationalize everything we can to secure voters who become beholden to the Federal government for their actual lives and health. c) did I mention make the entire country dependent upon the Federal government for their basic health care in order to make them beholden to, ok I did.

Yay!

Transparency in Government. a) bullshit b) total bullshit c) it sounded good though didn't it? Ok it was bullshit.

Yay (no exclamation point on this one, too dull and broken, this promise)

Stimulus 2.0. I'm just listening for this one, I'm not sure he's going to push it since Stimulus 1.0 accomplished everything it intended to (pay off those he owed big time). Still, he might suggest it didn't go far enough toward holding unemployment down to something less than one in every ten of us, so perhaps he'll propose it and suggest it will a) stem the tide of lost jobs b) get us back on the right track and c) shovel ready (teleprompter screwup here).

Yeehaw Yay!!

Gov. Bob McDonnell gets to deliver the Republican response. Bob, I'm coaching you here. I ain't the AP but I think rebutting this nonsense is the task at hand. No charge.

several Obama important initiatives reminded to me by the Hostages over at Splitters V 2.0
