SOTU: My perspective
It was difficult to sit through over an hour of self righteous, arrogant, contradictions, non sequiturs, and sophistry.
I cursed more in that hour than I have all year. I will need at least three bars of soap in my mouth now just to overpower the bad taste…
He promised bi-partisan cooperation, implying a willingness to compromise (not that that is necessarily a good thing), but threatened at least four preemptive vetoes… that’s bi-partisan cooperation?!?!?
All in all it was an address filled with more grandiose Utopian pipe dreams and platitudes, with more of the same tax and spend policies which are/have driven our nation to financial and moral bankruptcy. Thanks to him and other statists our Nation is as bankrupt as our President's policies.
Promising two years of “free’ community college as if the money would just magically fall from the sky like manna from heaven.
He took credit for the lower gas prices and near energy independence, though it actually occurred in spite of his policies not because of them.

He also raised alarms again about global warming/climate change citing the NOAA which has been shown to play loose with the truth and NASA claiming they found 2014 to be one of the hottest years on record despite the fact that we recently received a revised report suggesting that assessment was not accurate.

The list could go on and on, but the memory is too painful to recount.
SOTU Fact Check: Obama claims credit for an incomplete recovery

The Joni Ernst GOP reply was more promising and brief, but lacked specific strategy.
I call B.S. on the whole lot of it.
The Joni Ernst GOP reply was better, but the best speech of the evening was delivered by John Stossel.

Respectfully,
O.A.
