President Obama delivered his first State of The Union speech last night without much fanfare. It seems the "Obama Magic" is gone as most of his address was a real yawner. Except of course for Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi who appear to be competing for the "Most Ridiculous Cosmetic Change Award".
Apparently the Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts has had an impact in Washington.........just not with Obama. He echoed much of his campaign speech from 2 years ago last night by promising "Transparency" among the democrats and the end to "Closed Door Negotiations". This is all fine and good but none of this has transpired in his first year in office. The limbo laden Health Care Bill was written by a few and without any input from Republicans.The process was supposed to have aired on CSPAN but never occurred. Producers of that network even contacted the White House for an explanation but were denied access.
Obama last night also threw his now infamous "End of Earmarks On My Watch" line of bull%#*& to an unbelieving audience. Every bill he has signed has been loaded with earmarks including the Health Care Bill which has not made it to his desk yet.
Now there is news that Mr. Obama tried to sneak a $105 million dollar pay raise into the budget (submitted today) for SEIU members. Is this what he means by transparency?
This writer doesn't believe that Obama is going to wake up and get in touch with the American voters.

What did you think of the counterpoint address given by the governor of Virginia on behalf of the minority party?
