Some of you have asked my to comment on President Obama's State of the Union Address.  I was busy working on some projects and not able to get to it until today.  My wife was kind enough to record it for me as I was in a meeting in New Jersey during most of the speech. 


So when I returned home I watched the speech and took notes on those things that caught my attention.  What I observed was Cirque du Absurde.  The first thing that struck me visually was our illustrious Vice President Joseph bobble head Biden.  Could the man shake his head anymore?  I don't think so.  He kind of reminded me of a dog with an inner ear infection shaking and scratching.  Oh, and could he of fiddled with his suit jacket and tie anymore. Just so you know I pray every night for the Presidents personal safety because I never want to have bobble head Biden as our President.


Our shrew of a Speaker of the House Nancy Peolsi did her level best to look nice but you know the saying you can put lipstick on a ....oops better not go there.  She does remind me a lot of Carol Channing.


Now to the meat of the matter What the Fudge was that?  I believe what I was watching was a very boring version of the One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. 


I have listened to a lot of political pundits over the past few days and I haven't heard the honest truth.  This President has an illness.  It is evident to me that he suffers from a Napoleonic schizophrenia.  In one part of his speech he sounded like a true centrist and somewhere, independents were cheering saying "he gets it".  When he started preaching nuclear power and off shore drilling I got excited.  When he talked about taxing companies that are outsourcing US jobs to foreign countries my heart skipped a beat.  When he talked about how everyone in that room regardless of their side needs to come together and do the peoples business I was saying right on. 


Of course to counter that his schizophrenic side kicked in.  After talking about employing tried and true energy production he spoke about windmills and green energy.  He had to get the global warming shot across the bow.  After speaking about coming together to do the peoples business he attacked the republican side of the house.  He even had the arrogance to take a shot at the Supreme Court who's member were sitting spitting distance away.  What was amazing was the ruling he attacked which was the reversal of the McCain Feingold political financing law.  He was misinformed and misspoke when he said that the court's ruling would allow for foreign governments and entities to influence elections.  That's just not the case.  There are other laws that prohibit foreign governments and corporations from giving monies to candidates for US offices.


So what I witnessed was an internal tennis match being played out.  The President jumped from side to side.  What I saw was a man who has put his reputation behind two governors races and one senate race and loose.  In fact, if I were running for an elected office as a democrat I would not want President Obama showing up to support me.


So this is the change we can believe in....President Obama will change to keep his popularity just like any other politician republican or democrat.  He displays the same haughty arrogance as almost everyone of the people that were in the Capitol Building for his speech.  The only solution I see to save us from these popinjay's is to throw the bums out. 


Last but not least I wanted to comment on the gays in the military issue.  Who cares!  As long as there have been people in the military there have been gays in the military.  Instead of wasting time and money to chase them out update the Uniform Code of Military Justice UCMJ (the laws that military members live by) to codify Public Displays of Affection PDA.  I knew of gay members of the military when I was in the Navy and assigned to ships and Marine Corps bases.  They did their jobs and for the most part they performed them well.  They were fairly subdued and I never witnessed them acting "out".  As a police officer I have worked with gay officers and they performed their duties to the best of their abilities as well.

So if you don't like the idea of homosexuals in the military then don't join!
