All You Zombies: The Obama Speech
Well, the big day has come and gone. Obama has spoken and lo, there were many a glazed, teary eye in the stadium looking worshipful. And behold, there were many a celebrity clutching a HOPE sign. And yet, there were the occasional bored faces. Mine was among them, even though I sat before a TV as I watched this spectacle.
My impression of the Obama speech is that, while parts of it were well done, it was your basic Democrat boilerplate: Republicans are evil, Democrats are saints. We can do it better given the chance. You have no hope without us. Only more government and laws will save you. Only more taxes on the rich and the corporations will pay for the largess we offer. Oh yeah, and there will be more jobs even though we will be taxing your employers more and regulating them heavily. Oh, and we’ll save the planet, kill all the terrorists and end wars for all time. Because we’re the good guys! Look at all the celebrities who believe in us! That must mean something, right?
Even though they had the majority in Congress for the last 4 years and Congress has the lowest approval rating in history, theyc an do it better. Yeah.
The people in the audience mostly ate it up. But as Obama walked down from the stage there was this weird kind of anger in his eyes, which showed up at times in his speech. Maybe he hated all those American flags waving in his face.
The most absurd parts of the speech had to do with why we don’t need 4 more years of Bush. Uh, Bush isn’t running. Oh, yeah—-they are trying to make McCain into Bush. Except McCain is way more like a Democrat than Bush (who is kind of like a 70s Democrat, actually).
Obama kept talking about how long McCain has been in the Senate. Except, Joe Biden has been in there a lot longer. What’s his excuse? And Obama has been in the Senate during the time where it’s had the worst unfavorable ratings in history. What’s Obama’s excuse?
Don Surber parses some of the other lies in the speech. I’m sure others will be on it too.
Let me just say, I actually liked Obama in the beginning when I didn’t know that much about him. I rooted for him to beat Hillary. Check the blog archives if you don’t believe me. And I still like him a lot more than Bill Clinton, Al Gore and John Kerry. I do think he has some good ideas, like removing capital gains on small businesses and so on. Except he wants to raise taxes, a lot, on the “rich” who already pay the majority of tax in this country. Who provide all the jobs he claims he’s going to magically increase. He should change his middle name to Gandalf.
Obama also had nothing but bad and untrue things to say about America and its financial condition. The economy is rebounding a little. Unemployment is still low. But Dems keep saying this is the great depression. That’s how out of touch they are. They act like they’re in the depths of depression themselves. But, I guess that’s understandable give the choices of leadership they have. Nancy Pelosi? Harry Reid? Yikes.
One of the more obnoxious and patronizing things Obama said tonight is that Republicans tell us we’re “on our own”. Well, those of us who work for a living and believe we should be independent and not dependent on the state. That’s not something to be shamed of. The government doesn’t exist to be our parents or our nanny. But that’s how the Dems want it to be in our minds. They want us to be reliant on them. And that’s kind of like a pusher offering free heroin to the kiddies. No wonder so many celebrities are Democrats. They know who their connections are.
Obama’s speech was classic the state will save all and this will be a worker’s paradise. Cue socialist music. Oh, wait—-the music they played at the end was more like Star Wars. Well, George Lucas was there. No wonder the show sucked.
UPDATE: Obama is a fraud if he is a leftist pretending to be a centrist.
Did you notice all those media folks cheering and clapping? Gee, what a surpise.
