Because his State of the Union speech was too long on platitudes and short on specifics, Obama will try again on Tuesday | |
| Reality. What a concept User ID: 842983  United States02/05/2011 10:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because his State of the Union speech was too long on platitudes and short on specifics, Obama will try again on Tuesday Obama's State of the Uniion report this year was filled with inane, banal platitudes like how we must "win the future" and how we are having a "Sputnik moment". He tried to make John Boehner cry by talking about the "American dream". Obama implied that bullet trains and solar panels were the solutions to our severe economic problems. Obama never mentioned the the word unemployment. He did drone on about "clean energy" and "clean energy jobs". Because the American people are demanding Obama address the REAL state of the union and not some imaginary la la land, he has announced that he will try again on Tuesday. [link to www.mycentraljersey.com] WASHINGTON — Addressing a demand for economic answers, President Barack Obama will try to convince the American people and a divided Congress that he has a vision for speeding up job creation, promoting spending on the core of his agenda but promising to rein in a growing, staggering debt. His State of the Union address will reflect reality: The economy trumps all. To a nationwide television audience Tuesday night, Obama will home in on jobs, the issue of most importance to the public and to his hopes for a second term. Specifically, he will focus on improving the education, innovation and infrastructure of the United States as the way to provide a sounder economic base. He will pair that with calls to reduce the government's debt — now topping $14 trillion — and reform government. Those five areas will frame the speech, with sprinklings of fresh proposals.  |

U.S. To Re-Hang Saddam Hussein August 15, 2007 03.06.06 WASHINGTON, DC—Calling last December's execution of Saddam Hussein "anticlimactic," White House officials announced Monday their intention to hang the late Iraqi dictator again this year in an attempt to garner a more favorable response from the public. An early sketch of plans for this year's execution event."We're really looking for something that will refocus the American people's attention on all the positive aspects of this war," White House press secretary Tony Snow said. "We were counting on the death of this brutal despot—who, by the way, gassed his own people and was just like Hitler—to be a major media event for us. Instead, we wasted three or four great news days at a time when we really could have used a few high points." Most observers considered Hussein's execution, which was carried out by Iraq's interim government and broadcast in grainy, amateur footage, to be creepy, gruesome, and generally lacking the sense of triumphant catharsis authorities had hoped for. To remedy the public relations failure, Hussein's body has been dug up from its burial place near Tikrit and wired together by U.S. Army forensic experts to ensure that it holds its shape during the ceremony. The re-hanging, which will be aired on all major networks and accompanied by a 30-minute retrospective highlighting the many reasons why Hussein was a terrible person deserving of this ignoble end, will be "brighter, cheerier, and more upbeat," than the first attempt.
