What messages did President Obama send in his State of the Union Address

It was hard to figure out what President Obama’s speech’s was intended to convey.

At times, it was an indictment of the previous administration.

At times, it was a self congratulatory, pat on the President’s back.

At times, it was a very small laundry list of give aways apparently aimed at  quelling the ‘anger’ Americans feel.

At times, it was an indictment of the Supreme Court — at minimum a serious breach of decorum, or at worse an attempt to intimidate another branch of government.

In the end, it simply felt like yet another campaign speech, like we heard for three years leading up to the 2008 election.  I guess the 2012 election has begun.

Big Government lists seven things that stood out:

First, at no point did Barack Obama acknowledge that the promises that he made in campaigning for the so-called stimulus bill have gone unredeemed and that unemployment has continued to grow in a fashion that, he told us, it would not.

Second, much of the speech consisted in self-praise that, in the grim circumstances that we now face, seemed out of place.

Third, despite what the Climategate scandal has revealed concerning the dishonesty of those who have shilled for bills like the cap-and-trade measure passed by the House of Representatives, the President insists on our basing American public policy on discredited science.
