President's State of the Union Li- er, Address

I thought about reading the President's State of the Union Address this morning, but I'm afraid I can't bring myself to bother.  It's not going to be anything new.  He'll acknowledge that there are problems, then blame everybody else.  He'll then say he's going to solve everything, except evil Republicans who are just protecting fat-cat millionaires will try to stop him.  In through there will be the occasional sob story, likely dishonest or at least dishonestly presented.  Well, I'm fairly certain the whole speech was dishonest.

Who was it that arranged $500 million in guaranteed loan for his fat-cat crony as Solyndra went bankrupt?  Who is it that spends millions of taxpayer dollars to fly his wife out to Hawaii just a few hours before he heads there himself on Air Force One?  Who just killed the XL pipeline, even as he talks of being "focused like a laser" on jobs and energy independence?  Who is it that increased the total national debt by more than 50% in just 3 years from $10,000 billions to over $15,000 billions?  Who is it that has blocked every attempt by the House of Representatives to get our debt under control?

Yeah, the same guy who gets up there every year to harangue us for over an hour, blaming us for what he has done.

So I chose not to watch, and not to read his State of the Union Address.  If you happened to watch or read it and find that I'm wrong in thinking this was the gist of his speech, let me know.  I'll go back and wade through the darn thing, but for now I have better things to do, like picking lint out of my navel or trimming my cuticles or something.
