A Supreme State of the Union Mistake
S
upreme Court Justice Roberts is correct, of course, that it was inappropriate for President Obama to whip his hyena's
into an anti-Supreme Court frenzy during the state of the union speech. And we suspect that there was nary a
person in the nation who wasn't uncomfortable at the image of hundreds of partisan Democrat lawmakers
clapping and whooping while figuratively and literally encircling a small group of elderly, black-clad,
silent Supreme Court Justices.
The framers of this annual speech undoubtedly failed to take into consideration the prospect of a Chicago
community organizer turned politician ever being at the helm.
Equally unnerving was that this event was not the first time that President Obama and his henchmen
verbally assaulted a group of senior citizens, who, like the tea-party protesters, apparently aren't
entitled to their own opinion on issues of relevance to the nation.
President Obama now has a negative approval rating in every state he flipped from the
Bush column to his in 2008, which is more evidence that arrogance and attack-dog politics
don't sit well with the American people. Two weeks after the state of the union, President
Obama was back to his sub-50%, largest-in-history drop in approval ratings, in some measure
because consciously or subconsciously most Americans shudder when they see politicians verbally
and arrogantly attacking folks who are acting respectful, responsible and in what they believe
is the best interest of our nation.
