STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

I did not watch the President’s State of the Union address last night.

I had much more important things I needed to do, like rearranging my sox drawer, or watching reruns of “storage Wars”. 

However, over the past five years, I've learned many things from watching President Obama, especially that the majority of the things he says are flat-out lies!

But, I have heard a lot of talk about things he said.  One remark he made that absolutely made my blood boil, was that 2014 would be his “Year of Action” and that he was not afraid to side-step Congress with executive actions if necessary.

In 1801, Thomas Jefferson chose to deliver his State of the Union address in writing because he refused to deliver a monarchic "speech from a throne."  This tradition would remain intact until Woodrow Wilson reverted to the practice of personally addressing Congress in 1913.  For 112 years, U.S. Presidents feared that speaking before congress alone could be perceived as a sort-of monarchic, Presidential overreach...

I am just thankful that Thomas Jefferson and the other Founders were not around to see King Obama chastising Congress yesterday.  Never in my life have I seen a President which had such contempt and disdain for our country's Constitutional processes!

I have no interest in watching ANY of Obama’s speeches anymore because, every time he speaks, he sounds like he is still on the campaign trail.  With his crafted rhetoric, the President is usually able to convince audiences of his policy proposals.  I have just one question though: If 2014 is to be a "year of action," what should we call the last years?

This was the fifth time that Obama stood before Congress and the American people to outline his vision for the country, and for the first two years of his Presidency, Obama could have passed any bill he wanted.  For two whole years, the Democrats controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress.  The fact is that Barack Obama squandered his first years in office. he assumed that he would have all the time in the world to pass his socialist agenda.  Remember... He was the "chosen one," after all!

Yet, “we the people” threw Obama a curve ball by putting Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives and making the President a lame duck just two years into his first term in office.

The President is just as disillusioned as the career-voters who put him in office in the first place.  Obama actually believes that receiving 51.01% of the popular vote constitutes a "mandate" and is warrants turning the Presidency into dictatorship.  What Obama hasn’t quite gotten into his head is that no amount of popularity is enough to side-step the Constitution!

You should be very very concerned about what Obama has planned for his Year of Unconstitutional Action!

Obama has said that he will violate the constitution to enact more gun control, illegal immigration, environmental regulations, and higher taxes WITHOUT Congressional approval.  He has shown you the roadmap for his year of action, and he is daring you to try and stop him!

YOU CAN STOP HIM!

Well, not you all by yourself, but your Congressman and your Senators can.  And they will if you would just take the time to call and/or email them and ask them to put an end to this unconstitutional activity by the President.
