The State of the Union...

The Transcript

I don’t usually watch the President do any speeches. I just can’t. It’s too easy to get pissed off at the fake furrow in his brow and the smug way in which he says things like, “we are worried about activist judges trying to redefine marriage…”, and other jerky things. But, I care about what he is going to say and I was really worried he was going to do something nuts. Like, you know, declare war on Iran.

A bit over the top, I know, but with this guy, you just never know what hair-brained scheme he is going to come up with next. I watched the entire thing and slowly got more and more enraged. It really bothers me that someone who does not share my moral values and ideas is representing me to the world. It’s makes me angry that he has so many people on his side in spite of what seems to be an obvious ploy for…I don’t know what… World Domination?

The best part about the speech was how every time the President would say something inflammatory, especially to the Democrats watching, the camera would pan to Senator Clinton. She would smile and "teeth clenched" smile and look a little nauseous.

I realize that many of the people that read my blog might be Republicans, and I don’t want to offend any of them. Please understand that I make decisions based on my own moral compass. I can’t be for something (or someone) who I honestly feel in my heart makes dishonest and dangerous statements about war, oil, morality and the like. It’s just how I feel…

That being said, I will now get off my soapbox and go make a cup of tea. All this talking about news and politics has me all riled up.
