The Less 'Hoping & Dreaming', More 'Believing' State Of The Union Post-Mortem
President Obama unveiled 12 key executive actions in his 6,778 word tome this evening at a reading level that was lower than the average of George W. Bush's SOTUs and the same as Clinton's (Flesch-Kincaid 9.8). From 'raising the minimum wage' to 'myRA' savings plans ("a guaranteed return with no risk"?) and from redesigned high schools to teach real-world skills (like EBT-card-usage?) to increasing college opportunities (blowing that bubble even bigger), it was a corporate-bashing, hopeful-job-creating manifesto that had less "hopes" and "dreams" than MLK's speech, but more "believing."
Joe Biden loved it...
The speech summarized...in words...
for a quick comparison -
- MLK's "I have a dream" speech had 3 "believes", 4 "hopes", and 11 "dreams"...
- Tonight's SOTU had 10 "believes", only 1 "hope", and a disappointing 9 "dreams"
- Priorities for the Fed - Jobs 39 - 2 Stocks
- So much for inequality - Rich 1 - 1 Poor

The 12 Key Executive actions...
The President’s top priority remains ensuring middle class Americans feel secure in their jobs, homes and budgets. To build real, lasting economic security the President will work with Congress and act on his own to expand opportunity for all so that every American can get ahead and have a shot at creating a better life for their kids.
Middle Class Security & Opportunity at Work
Raising the Minimum Wage through Executive Order to $10.10 for Federal Contract Workers. The President will also continue to urge Congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 across the nation because no one who works full-time should have to raise their family in poverty.
Creating “myRA” – A New Starter Savings Account to Help Millions Save for Retirement. The President will take executive action to create a simple, safe and affordable “starter” retirement savings account available through employers to help millions of Americans save for retirement. This savings account would be offered through a familiar Roth IRA account and, like savings bonds, would be backed by the U.S. government.
Building a 21st Century Workplace for America’s Working Families. The President will host a summit on Working Families to highlight the policies that will ensure America’s global economic competitiveness by supporting working families; showcase companies doing exemplary work in this space; and highlight model laws and policies from cities and states across the country in areas such as discrimination, flexibility and paid leave.
Jobs & Economic Opportunity
Launching Four New Manufacturing Institutes in 2014. American manufacturers are adding jobs for the first time in over a decade. To build on this progress, the President will launch four new institutes through executive action this year. These institutes will build on the four the President has already announced.
Government-wide Review of Federal Training Programs to Help Americans Get Skills in Demand for Good Jobs. The President is directing the Vice President to conduct a full review of our federal job-training system to make sure programs are higher performing and driven by the needs of employers which are hiring so that they lead to well-paying jobs. In the coming months, we will help community colleges build partnerships with businesses so that as industries’ skills needs change community colleges can quickly adapt.
Partnering With Many of America’s Leading CEOs to Help the Long-Term Unemployed. Later this week, as part of an ongoing effort that the Administration began several months ago, the President will convene a group of CEOs and other leaders around supporting best practices for hiring the long-term unemployed.
Expanding Apprenticeships by Mobilizing Business, Community Colleges and Labor. This year the President will mobilize business leaders, community colleges, Mayors and Governors, and labor leaders to increase the number of innovative apprenticeships in America.
Increasing Fuel Efficiency for Trucks. The President will propose new incentives for medium- and heavy-duty trucks that run on alternative fuels like natural gas and the infrastructure needed to deploy them, and the Administration will set new fuel efficiency standards for heavy duty vehicles.
Partnering with States, Cities and Tribes to Move to Energy Efficiency and Cleaner Power. The President has directed his Administration to work to cut carbon pollution through clean energy and energy efficiency.
Schools & Education Opportunity
Connecting 20 Million Students in 15,000 Schools to the Best Technology to Enrich K-12 Education. The FCC is making a major down-payment on the President’s ConnectED goal of connecting 99% of students to next-generation broadband and wireless technology within five years. In the coming weeks the President will announce new philanthropic partnerships – including by companies like Apple, Microsoft, Sprint and Verizon.
Redesigning High Schools to Teach the Real-World Skills That Kids Need. This year, the Administration will announce the winners of a $100 million competition supporting redesigned high schools that give high school students access to real-world education and skills.
Increasing College Opportunity and Graduation. Building on the success of the President and First Lady’s College Opportunity Summit, in the coming months the President is asking colleges and universities, nonprofits and businesses to work with him on ways to improve students’ access to and completion of higher education.
And a key paragraph for all (even Tom Perkins?)...
Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled. The cold, hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery, too many Americans are working more than ever just to get by – let alone get ahead. And too many still aren’t working at all.
Our job is to reverse these tides. It won’t happen right away, and we won’t agree on everything. But what I offer tonight is a set of concrete, practical proposals to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class, and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class. Some require Congressional action, and I’m eager to work with all of you. But America does not stand still – and neither will I. So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that’s what I’m going to do.
Ron Paul sums it up...
Well, I certainly didn't learn anything new from this sp

I watched this instead. Not sure who those three guys are seated in back.....but I think they're important.

Well after 3 2 term ass backwards administrations, people should be feeling as if they have been stiffed by their own gvt.
It's almost like we were lied too....and those guys are all on the same team.
That would explain the big man hug Dubya gave to Barry when he handed over the reigns.......keep it going buddy!
what is a manufacturing institute?
'An autoworker fine-tuned some of the best, most fuel-efficient cars in the world, and did his part to help America wean itself off foreign oil.'
fine tuned?
like an assembly line guy, or a tech trying to fix a computer bound piece of crap on which there exists no possible way to "fine tune"?
wean our selves off foreign oil?
crist on a crutch
i could pick this pos speech apart line by line
meaningless drivel
glad i dont listen to that crap, and i shouldnt have bothered reading it either
I would also like to fucking know the answer to this question.
Whatever it is I'm gonna apply for a job there.
They don't get it. We don't need jobs, we need the freedom to pursue opportunities.

Why do you think they're going to legalize marijuana????? It's because they know they're going to have a lot more highly stressed people and they're hoping that hitting the bong will take the place of hitting the streets angry.

Good night for admiring stuff I lost a long time ago in a boating accident far far away.
I watched the first 20 minutes or so.......now to the point where I can't a talking head on TV ,liars all. Gov.com is not even creative...MyRA?, good god. I predict just as MySpace was a special place just for you on the web , MyRA will be a special place to save for retirement. We have allowed idiots to be come our leaders, the framers must be proud.
OK so its obvious Bammer is a total sucker for his own self delusional image of himself and wants to be a "player", do you think we could just buy his ass out of office early, maybe start a fund to "encourage the Prez to resign for the good of the Country" and as a prize, he can have whatever is in the fund! Shit lets accept BTC and all forms of digital currency as well!
Scratch that..........then we just got "Whacko Joe" to deal with!! We're just fucked! Can't wait until they CROWN Hill as Prez, shit we can overcome all our "diversity issues" in 12 years!! Black Prez.......... check Femaie Prez................Check Lets just hope Hillary will pick a Latino, Lesbian/Gay/ or Bisexual running mate, and we can this shit over with!!! Shit by the time Hillary and her Gay, Latino running mate leave office, white men will be a minority in this Country and they can get some affirmative action benefits, cheap collage loans, and a "helping hand up"!!
That's what I need, a Collage loan: some student debt for a worthless degree, an FHA loan for a mortgage I can't afford, and a car loan on a GM I won't pay back - oooh, look at the colors!
Welcome to the New Rome, Mordor on the Potomac, and a mulato Nero to fiddle us to Perdition!
"All flail Caesar!"
Your idea is brilliant for getting the kenyan and whackjob out of the two top spots - just buy them out. But it will be perverted by the system after that. Here's what will happen: As Americans contribute more and more money to the Throw The Bums Out Fund, political candidates will begin seeking office just so they can get the payout. We'll have a revolving door of presidents, maybe 5-6 in a single year, each coming and going with their payoff. It would continue until Americans get bored of it, which of course won't take long.
Look 3 communists loved it

Yea, that yeast piss is a killer, but the education system is so good we can pray for new parts, even if we don't deserve them sometimes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnkU9GMArCU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVJPB3W54Tc Here's a MUCH better 'take' on SOTU !! ;>)
Satan spouting to his disciples. Here, bite the apple. I thought he was going to bore us to death. I too love my wife, but holy shit, you would think his wife was the answer to the worlds problems.
It's evident that she hates her life.
I promise: she hates your life a lot more.
It's been a while since I've seen Moe, Larry & Curly.
As Family Guy would say....slash across the wrist for attention and up the arm for results.
Yes, slit wrists are in fact covered. The ICD-9-CM code for billing purposes is 881.02. Code 881 covers all open wounds of the elbow, forearm and wrist while the .02 is for wrists without mention of complications. Were there any complications? Those would change the code and affect the process of billing. Of course those codes will soon be replaced with newer, more complicated ones, so for simplicity's sake please cut soon or don't cut at all.
From another web site, I think, yesterday.... "I was depressed, so I called mental health hotline. The call center was outsourced to Pakistan. When I told them I was suicidal, they got real excited and asked if I knew how to drive a truck."
Brave sir, good one, clever and funny. LOL!
Thanks - can't claim credit. It was posted on another website. I stole it.
YAOYOB...You are on your own Bytch.
How embarrassment. Good job America
Don't judge us by this guy and his wookie. If you have to judge us, please use honey boo boo or jersey shore as the standard for defining deviancy down. We can recover from them.
You know, the pendulum of societal indulgence always eventually swings the other way and we are going to end up with a bunch of Puritans running this place. When enough people are finally offended by the cultural inanity, the loose morals, casual fraud and rampant dishonesty there is going to be a backlash that will make the morals, conventions and behavior of the '50s look wanton in comparison. Its not going to be any fun. In fact, fun will probably be frowned upon
That would actually be fine with me. I'd rather live like a Quaker than put up with this cultural cesspool even one more day. I don't care for the "burn the witch" types, but I kind of think most of the Shakers and Quakers got a bad rap thanks to those original Puritans. They were at least humble, decent people and they represent the values our nation was founded upon not this fascist, militarized, wacko nonsense.
Fun is overrated and gives me a hangover.
You make a good point above re: pendulum swings, but what should bother us even more is that the process has already been anticipated and hijacked via Agenda 21 (revamped and revitalised Gaiea cult): the rewrite of 'good' and 'bad' according to the all-encompassing mandate of "Sustainability" and the interests of the Oligarchical Collective.
Next time you hear people talking on local radio or read the letters page of your newspaper, examine the positions brought forward in the context of bottled rhetoric downloaded from "Green" school textbooks. After the looming SHTF is over and dust is settled, your grandchildren will see a twisted world where there is a "Green" place for everyting, and everything is in its "Green" place, and there will be no critical thinking or questioning or old-fashioned rugged individualism or freedom as our forebears knew it. Society will be fully restructured into a technocratic, totalitarian hell on earth.
collectivism
Just shoot me now.
I fucking hate fun.
Ohhh Joe biden is so much fun though, god that dude is a riot!!! Hey Joe, even with your fake tan, you couldn't get as dark in the face as boner!! I think Boner only took a breath about 5 times during the whole specch! If this shit was a reality TV show and not destroying our lives on a daily basis, these guys would be the best comedy on TV!

I didn't think it was a terrible speech. This economic funk was thirty years in the making. So I don't exclusively blame Obama. Furthermore, now that we're an offshored economy, the minimum needs to be raised. There's no more manufacturing to float middle class boats.
Step 1: Higher wages, absolutely free health care, blanket amnesty, at least 2 more wars, raise EBT limits, cut taxes, more H1Bs, more green energy projects, carbon tax, and ban all repeating firearms larger than .22lr.
Step 2: Make popcorn, and pour your favorite drink.
Step 3: Enjoy!
This economic funk was thirty years in the making.
So when is Barry gonna get that deficit cut in half again? If he can't get it done...maybe he shouldn't have applied for the job.
Certainly Obama is not responsible for creating all the economic problems, but he has done his best to prevent a more normal recovery. Strangulation by regulation is his game plan and it is working. In fact, everything - not only economics - Obama has done has worked to the detriment of the USA. Go figure.
There is no such thing as a normal recovery in store for us. A good president would acknowledge this and then get everybody else to acknowledge this. Then we could get to work changing our economy and general way of life to match the reality of finite resources. If we had a system with a shred of integrity, we would have a decade or two to make this transition. Instead the MO is to preserve the status quo, and it will not work. There is too much dishonesty and too many politically charged issues where physical reality will interject and inflict itself upon us because we will not come to grips with them despite what anybody believes. Our course of action not the best one, nor even a good one. We could be on the road to a more peaceful life, but instead we are on the road to hell on earth.
Good post, but I humbly submit that you make the mistake of presuming that the sociopaths actually CARE. Put succinctly, what we are seeing now is a breakdown in the measures that require the public to be paid lip service.
yup- like hoping a fox won't eat a chicken whilst overseeing the coop.
i supose enuf chickens could peck the fucker to death...
No, they just stand there and watch each other get killed, but once the fox is gone they start to peck.
El Vaquero wrote:
"If we had a system with a shred of integrity, we would have a decade or two to make this transition. Instead the MO is to preserve the status quo, and it will not work. There is too much dishonesty ..."
Don't see how that can reasonably be interpreted to mean that Vaquero mistakenly presumes "the sociopaths actually CARE".
Discussions here too often are accompanied by gratuitous put-downs which only serve as a distraction from any points made.
I, for one, would like to see less presuming about what others supposedly presume.
STFU....dimwit...
" the minimum needs to be raised. There's no more manufacturing to float middle class boats. "
Why only $10/hr?, Why not raise the minimum wage to $50/hr, or better yet, $200/hr? since every american deserves their very own fleet of private jets! /sarc . Hopefully you figure out that mininum wages increases don't do squat for the economy,
Is there any way to find out how many government contract workers are actually making less than $10/hr.
Seriously, his boot licker makes more than that.
Jesus Christ.
WHERE?!?!?!?!?
Oh, holy crap, I thought you'd seen Him. Knock it off, will ya'?

They say Hollywood would be scared to death of his arrival, and no one would ever ask him where he got his money.

You may not be a calamitous twat, but you're still a twat nonetheless. Just don't catch the clap. I don't like contagious twats.
None of that is any excuse for:
1. Nationalizing healthcare to the point where even basic coverage is unaffordable
2. Allowing the Fed to continue stealing from savers
3. Using the IRS to attack political opponents
4. Keeping our troops overseas fighting senseless wars
5. Increasing the reach and power of the welfare state in the face of bankruptcy
6. Militarizing local police forces
7. Establishing search and seizure without cause
etc etc etc
QE is zero sum game. Initially, buying down interest rates help boost housing/jobs. But savers lose income over the past five years which is now depressing the economy. Over time, there is nothing but an illusionary gain. Six large banks act as primary dealers between FED and Treasury making billions for the NYC elite. Sub prime litigation paid out $20 billion to a handful of NYC lawyers. Yes a bit of inequity.
Nyc elite? Nyc lawyers?
There is yet freedom enough to just type 'Jews' man....
But in all seriousness, do you think those same banks own the ny fed? And might the six banks be owned by a small group of mostly European dynastic banking families?8
Seems likely, but I couldn't tell you for sure.
It's a secret, and only conspiracy theorists, racists, and teabaggers would even ask.
re: "There is yet freedom enough to just type 'Jews' man...."
Not here...I just use 13th Tribe.
~"...Treasury Sec. Lew to Bloomberg: Congress working on immigration, infrastructure in 2014"~
Because legalizing 13 million foreigners holding jobs in this country when so many Americans are out of work is what is best for this country.
Because it really, really is important that we supply healthcare and education to those who came here without permission just to send the money they earn here back to their country of origin.
Because it is way more important that big business have cheap foreign labor than requiring them to hire American citizens.
Because the socialists in this country cannot win elections without the vote of those who are here illegally. That's also why we must never, ever have voter ID requirements.
Just means the free s%#t train gets longer
That was faster than Hilsenrath responding to a FED speech.

Yes, but hopefully it is bankers that start throwing themselves out of windows here. It's already happening in London.

Or, they just could have rerun Obama. Why relisten to a cheerleader when you can hear the team captain again? Damn, it TRULY IS a one party non system!
I kept looking at her big milk-laden tits, and wondered if the GOP had finally, in more ways than one, simply gone full retard.
Figure they picked her because she's a relative unknown, and would elicit pre-election chatter as to a possible Repub vice-presidency...? She's white. At the end of a coloured presidency, in a nation with inflamed racial tension, that may be noteworthy. Is she intelligent? MBA doesn't necessarily tell us much. All she had to do tonight was sit and read into a microphone.

Did he explain why his Energy Secretary still has a job? I can not see at this moment why the guy has not been fired or resigned.
Because Obama!
What a cocksucker of epic proportion who spews lies faster than McDonalds corporations can spew burgers. More than a billion told.
I see that you share my opinion of Obama and the rest of the clownagarchs.
I also have to add that Biden is a plagiariser and a GIANT embarrassing doofus to this nation.
Biden is quality entertainment. I'm hoping that he becomes president in 2014. Not because I think he'll make a good one, but simply because his incompetence would at least be good for a laugh or two.
