I’ve been watching Obama’s State of the Union address. Beats me why. It’s more of a performance than a speech. Reading from a teleprompter a cliche-ridden speech that’s been scripted by specialists in the art of psychological manipulation while pretending to be folksy and in touch with regular people is, I have to admit, something people with real consciences could not do.
Our feet planted firmly in today but our eyes cast forward to tomorrow?
Spare me.
I guess the man has a certain kind of talent. But it doesn’t include being president.

Our feet are firmly planted in our mouths with our head located in fundamentals.
An awkward position to be sure.
Sounds like President Choom is ripping off Casey Kasem to some degree. Kasem used to host the syndicated radio show called “America’s Top 40” few years back. He always closed his show with this little bit of advice:
Keep your feet on the ground but keep reaching for the stars.
Get us out of afganistan now! President was grat hopefully soon his face will be on mount rushmore! And to think some silly people wanted bed time for bonzos face their and replace roosevelt on the dime with iran-countra traitor! Selling dope to black school children to finance an illegal war or murding marinol nuns who were inconveniacing you doesn’t get you on the dime!
I admire your tolerance for agony and torture. Unfortunately, I was out of xanax and couldn’t watch.

Rather succinct summary. You have more intestinal fortitude than I to have witnessed the speech. Purple Hearts should be handed out for such!
