The State of the Union address that President Obama delivered last night gave new meaning to pushing the blame to the other guy. It was an endless parade of campaign promises and presidential initiatives. It had no theme. The text literally could have been clipped together from the hundreds of speeches, press conferences, and town halls the president has delivered from the start of his political career. After Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts everyone was watching to see if the president would turn to the center. After his state of the union speech, the answer is no,looks like he will take care of special interest and unions. He doubled-down on the stimulus--indeed, he wants another, much smaller, version. He called on the Senate to pass a climate bill that has absolutely no chance in 2010. He provided no clear strategy for Congress to pass a health care bill. His feints to the center on spending and "tax cuts" were transparently gimmicky. He used his favorite crutch: blame Bush and the Republicans for every obstacle his presidency encounters. He attacked and distorted a Supreme Court decision in front of the justices. By the time he got to foreign policy, you were no doubt looking at your watch. . By the time he finished, the feeling in the House chamber must have been exhaustion.What a very disappointing presidential address.
