Day 36. Sate of the Union.

Wow, is it just me or is anyone else annoyed by the president's reading a teleprompter. He moves his head too far, then his eyes have to drift back to the prompter. It seems like this guy was watching a tennis match... it's very distracting.

Then there is the head cheerleader, Nancy Pelosi. That woman could not wait to jump up and clap. When she wasn't jumping up, she had that forced smile. It looked very uncomfortable. I think it was to keep her cheeks tight so they would not end up in her lap.

Finally Joe Biden. That guy has a permanent frown, but when he was grinning--wow! Did he get some new teeth? I had to put my sunglasses on. If someone digs up a picture of him from back in the campaign days, with yellow teeth, please link to it here.

OK, finally the speech. I had to turn away to listen to it for all the distractions (see above). I began hearing his words near the end when he was talking about the Florida banker, the town in Kansas that is rebuilding on their own, etc. I guess I missed the inspirational story about the folks in New Orleans rebuilding without help from taxpayers. What a difference values, government programs and self-sufficiency makes in shaping our country. You know who will put us on the right track...those who do not have their hands out!

The way the president talked, everybody is going to get something...who the hell is going to pay for all this?

Savers, like me, that's who.
