What was striking tonight is that a man who has often been lauded for his ability to speak, had such a difficult time communicating any coherent thought. This speech was an utter disaster.    Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan could command a room.    At this point in his career, Barack Hussein Obama barely commanded an aisle.    This room had no energy - there was no passion - and the only jolt to a plodding speech was when the President of the United States implored his fellow Americans to screw the Constitution and to subvert the right to own and to bear arms. I was incredulous. Nevermind that the President repeatedly told bold faced lies throughout the speech.   At one point he said Ford Motor Company was moving jobs from Mexico to the United States and that was an outright lie.    Ford is taking over the former joint Ford-Mazda plant in Flat Rock Michigan and is EXPANDING Ford Fusion Capacity (that means it is adding capacity, not closing one facility and shifting production to here).    The President must not realize or even know that the new Ford Fusion is selling like gangbusters and needs extra capacity.    Over at Government Motors which he boldly claims he saved, the new Chevrolet Malibu, a product of "his company" is bombing in the market place and the plant is laying off workers and stopping production.    Again.    But why sweat the facts? Another doozy is when the President said that oil imports are at its lowest level in 20 years as if he had anything to do with decreasing imports.   The truth is that economic growth is so bad and non-existant that overall petroleum consumption is down because there is less driving and less demand for petroleum - not for energy conservation but because the wheels of industry doesn't need energy when it is scaling back production. The President also lied when he said cars get double the gas mileage they did than when he started.   The fact is that overall fleet miles per gallon of last year's new cars was only about 21 mpgs - roughly 1 mpg more than it was the year before. The President tried to make it seem like because of policies he has implemented that oil and natural gas production has increased.    He has tried to stop it - he has decreased permits to explore on Federal lands.   Almost all of the increase in petroleum and natural gas are on private lands using private dollars to risk finding new sources.    In short, nothing that this President did increased production of any petroleum in this country.  Not one thing. Another lie the President said was that there were $2.5 trillion in cuts in spending.   Since the Senate has not passed any annual budget in the last four years, there is no way to point to any decrease in spending at all.    He is averaging budget deficits of $1 trillion per year - has higher deficits in four years than Bush had in eight and will add more debt to the country's ledger in 8 years than all Presidents before him combined. A little known fact is that the FY 2009 budget, which was George W. Bush's last budget he signed, did not have $1 trillion in spending that resulted in debt.   Of the $1.4 trillion budget deficit that fell into the first year of Barack Hussein Obama, over $900 billion of that was money that the Democrats who controlled the House and Senate approved over and above Bush's budget!    Only about $500 billion of the added debt after the FY 2009 budget was passed can be pinned on Bush - and that was emergency spending due to the housing and market collapse. Did this President, therefore, scale back spending to the non-emergency baseline of the FY2009 budget?   Hell no - he continued to add approximately $1 trillion in spending over that baseline on non-emergency spending that has given us nothing - no better roads or infrastructure - no better bridges - no economic turnaround.   Just debt pissed away on bankrupt Green Energy companies and tax breaks for General Electric - one of his largest campaign contributors and who paid no income taxes last year.   Not one dime. When the President said that 6 million jobs were created, he is including short term census jobs in that number and totally fails to include that over 8 million people who were in the workforce that did not retire are no longer counted in the workforce numbers because they no longer are receiving unemployment benefits and have given up looking for work.    The numbers unemployed are far greater than the President will admit, but the sad fact is that his 8.0% unemployment number is really 11-12% unemployment if those 8 million who were in the workforce under George W. Bush were counted now.   It is as if they fell off the face of the earth! This President's arrogance is profound - his nose continually in the air - continually lecturing his opponents while smirking that he welcomes bipartisan cooperation.    At no turn does this President hesitate to take a tragedy and to use it to advance his leftist agenda - the bodies of dead six year olds barely cooled before his ilk were salivating over exploiting the chilling blood to advance gun control while totally ignoring the significant need in helping mental cases who roam free threatening themselves and others while he ignores the need for their care. This speech was like all of his others - a lecture - an insidious and pathetic excuse to advance progressive "know it all" solutions to limit private citizens choices.    And while this President lambasted the "Sequester" plan, the truth is because of his own arrogance and incompetence, that plan was AUTHORED in his office and prevented an actual plan that his own Vice President had almost convinced Republicans to undertake!    Obama's own foolishness inserted a plan that was meant as a poison pill to replace one that actually might have worked! Comprehensive Immigration reform is a code phrase for giving those who have stolen the American Experience a way to become voters for his party.    Instead of actively pursuing these thieves and making their lives miserable by fining the hell out of businesses who hire them, this President wants to contrive a way that gives these thieves a way to become legitimate.     This would be like allowing a thief in your home a way to be on the deed of trust if he agreed not to take your property outside of  the building and then paid you for some rent as a penalty! Interestingly ABC, CBS, and NBC did not cover Rubio's spanish version of his response.    How interesting.
