The Left and the State of the Union Speech

Guardian: A article in praise of the Obama’s State of the Union Speech but you really see the truth with the following lines, “ ( Obama’s) going to have to draw those lines in the sand some time. In this speech, he merely put that task off for another day. ”. In other words folks the left was not jumping with joy about the speech, as POTUS gives the impression of moving to the middle, and the word is impression, the Speech does recall the Big Government of LBJ. The Republican House will not pass anything that smells of another economic stimulus, the Republicans at end of day have the money strings, the new House members know that if they are seen to cave to Obama they will be looking for a new job in 2012. Thus expect the Obama White House to give the IMPRESSION that it is moving to the centre but it will face with a reality of a Republican House will that keep ObamaCare on the air, there will be hearings, the US voter does not want BIG GOVERNMENT. Overall the speech gets a D+ for performance but F- for content, this was a missed opportunity by POTUS to move to the centre, poll ratings can go up and down!
