Estate of the Unionless:
My first reaction to Pres. O's State of the Union Address last night:
He touched on nearly everything, was inspiring at times, but:
O. never mentioned LABOR, or the attack on Labor by the GOP
O. never mentioned Guantanamo, or the Torture regime of Cheney
O. never mentioned fraudulent Bank FORECLOSURES crushing America
O. never mentioned unemployed 99ers (1 million near homelessness)
O. never mentioned protecting CHOICE, or Women's Rights
O. never mentioned repealing the unPatriot Act (wiretapping, etc.)
O. never mentioned his right to MURDER Americans without trial
O. never mentioned Global Warming, but he will cut Oil subsidies (or try)
Pres. Obama is without doubt the most articulate and persuasive speaker
ever to be elected President. Execution, however, is part of his problem.
