The conservative Republican pundit in Washington, D.C. wasn't feeling the liberal Democratic president's recent State Of The Union speech: "The theme that President Barack Obama gave to his State of the Union address was 'An America Built to Last.' But his vision would be better described as 'An America Built to Be Last.' As the president asked us to be patient and keep drinking the same Kool-Aid he's been serving up for three years, The New York Times reported that the Federal Reserve's latest assessment of our economy is that '...a full recovery is years away.'"
She continues: "What Americans must come to terms with now is what we choose to believe this country is about, why in the past it seemed to work so well and why today things are falling apart. According to the president, everything will be OK if we allow him and his government to continue to build and consolidate power over our lives. He gave more reasons to grow government but barely gave lip service to what is tearing our nation apart today and dragging it down. The major factors driving us into insolvency -- the spending on entitlement programs Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and covering the interest on our nation's debt, which is now surpassing the size of our entire economy -- got attention in two sentences in an hour-plus-long speech."
More commentary from Ms. Parker about the president: "The unraveling of our social fabric doesn't seem to bother our president a whit. You would think our nation's leader would be concerned that, today, four of every 10 of our babies are born to unwed mothers. He called on 'every state to require that all students stay in high school until they graduate or turn 18.' Rather than addressing the issues of broken families and why poor kids don't care about learning, Obama thinks he'll solve this problem by turning our failing public schools into prisons."
