Krauthammer: Expect an ´extremely
aggressive and partisan´ State
of the Union speech

Daily Caller, by Jeff Poor

Original Article

Posted By:sparky86, 2/11/2013 9:01:37 PM

On Monday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer predicted that tomorrow night’s State of the Union address will be the political counterpart to President Barack Obama’s fundamentally “ideological” inaugural speech. “Well, I’m not sure it will be a speech about ideas or programs,” Krauthammer said. “In fact, if the inaugural address was this sort of extraordinarily ideological address, I think the State of the Union is going to be extremely aggressive and partisan. Obama is still campaigning. He hasn’t stopped.

Comments:
Obama isn´t interested in the economy. It´s going to be guns and immigration, chocked full of anti-Republican vitriol.

Whenever I see an article about things Krauthammer says, I always wonder which way the wind will be blowing him that day. Not a bad guy but not completely trustworthy, either.

Charles, take a stand and be consistent. You aren´t so far.

Paul Ryan gave his first political speech since the election at his home district´s Lincoln Day dinner. He said that despair is a mortal sin and he´s giving up despair for Lent. I am going to try to do the same.

He said in ´08 that he inended to completely "transform" the USA. And so he has commenced. And he is going whole hog to change the way the social/cultural fabric of the nation.

He means to change this nation from the roots, and that means to shake and dislodge the Judeo-Christian foundations.

This is a revolution. Most of the people are asleep, good little sheep that they are.

Cannot and have not watched the President for over two years. History will show he may have been the worst President in our history. Has no idea he is supposed to be leading the WHOLE

He is going to try to damage the Republicans enough so they will lose control of the House in the next election. Then he will be free to fundamentally transform America.

The complete transformation of this country is an Obama pipedream because at least half the country is against him. Secondly he doesn´t have the money to buy off every voter and money will be come more scarce once Obamacare starts killing jobs.

Bernake is maxed out on money creating gimmicks. All he´s basically doing right now is adding zero´s to the feds accounts to mask the deficit.There´s no hard backup to Bernake´s printing,in fact he should just resign.

Obama has miraculously avoided a tipping point action so far.Even though he hates republicans,he wants their fingerprints on his schemes.

One thing that´s puzzling to me is republican ran states seem to be doing fine but it´s not helping the party image overall. How could states like Wisconsin,Michigan and Ohio elect republican governors then turn around and re-elect Obama unless it´s pure cheating.An Ohio poll workers bragged about voting for Obama twice and no eyebrows raised.

Somebody suggested in a column that Republicans ought to get up and walk out en masse if he uses the occasion to excoriate them. I agree. But they won´t. Instead, Obama will make an outrageous claim, some House guy will not be able to contain himself and yell, ´´That´s BS,´´ and Obama plays the victim.

Surprise me, Pubbies: if this turns out to be a campaign speech full of scorn and derision, stand up, turn your back on the creep, and leave.

Doc is probably right on this one. What would benefit Obama most? Of course, it is that which has benefited him in the past -- class warfare and scare tactics.

What better venue to disseminate his socialist, anti-capitalist, anti-white agenda than to stir the racial and class pot? He will talk about starving children, killing off granny through medicare cuts, riots in the streets, bridges and roads that fall apart and kill people, "the rich" who protect their $ in the Caymans (as he does), "workers" of America not being given a "fair shake" -- in short, Hitlerian rhetoric aimed at dumbed-down, low-information citizens, legal and illegal.

Obama wants war on our soil, preferably, black against white, unions against non-union workers. Taking away guns is central to his war room plans.

I´ll give Doc this one, even though he sometimes gets it wrong.

And nobody will give a damn! The Press certainly won´t.

We already know how Chris Matthews stands (still on the air despite ratings that pretty much encompass his family and a few zealots).

I already know the state of the union. I don´t need someone with a God complex to lie to me about it. Therefore, I will not be watching. Obama will be lauded by the media as a president with vision and boldness. I know what he is and what he is trying to do. He is attempting to do what the communists promised they would do, destroy us from within. My heartbreak is realizing that there is no one with the courage to oppose him. There is so much infighting in the Republican Party over who will wield power that they are ignoring the real threat to this country. They should be ashamed. Obama is winning because we have no army on the battlefield.

I´ve never watched zippy give any sort of speech and I certainly don´t plan to start now. That said, I wonder if he will mention North Korea and their nukes and threats. Probably not as it doesn´t serve his own self interest.

If I were going to watch it I would go back to Rush´s suggestion for the SOTU from the Clinton Era - put a sign across the bottom of your TV screen saying, "This man lies".

Two Americas indeed; those who support Obama and those who oppose.

Remember how under the Eastern bloc and the Soviet Union, if you did not fully support the State you became an Enemy of the State?

It still annoys me that so many of the talking heads on "our" side rarely (Mark Levin being the exception) if ever, come right out and say that Obama is intent on changing/destroying this country for the worse; he´s not in over his head, ignorant about economics, etc. He´s destructive.

"He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;" - U.S. Constitution Article 2 §3. Remember that the Constitution only requires notification, not necessarily a formal speech where Congress is required to attend.

I would change my opinion of the GOP if they would stand up and walk out - or not show up in the first place. If only we conservatives had a party with a spine to represent us.

I would be thrilled if even one Republican walked out. I would be even more thrilled if none of them went in the first place. They could hang out in the hallway to be seen, even go in, but leave to go to the restroom and never come back. What a waste of time and effort. I´ll be watching some movies on the DVR.

"The state of the nation is good!" Will be the biggest lie in American history. North Korea just gave the world a wake up call that they have a nuke and they will share the technology with the highest bidder.

Here´s another citizen who won´t be watching. But I will say that the President speaks in the House at the invitation of the Speaker. Rather than getting up and walking out en masse as some have sugested, what should be done is that the moment Barry´s TelePrompter reading turns partisan, the Republicans who control the House should immediately cut the power in the House, bringing the whole affair to a screeching halt, and then they should chuck Barry´s scrawney behind out onto the Capitol lawn. But alas, we all know Boehner lacks the gonads to take such a bold stand.

Obama gave old Krauthammer a head fake. Obama´s mission with his speech was not to come over as being extremely aggressive and partisan as Krauthammer supposed, but to come over as a reasonable politician who cared more about the average American then the wimpy Republicans. Just claiming that the minimum wage should be raised to $9.00 an hour will get Obama the votes of millions of low information people, even though it is not politically doable, and if enacted would cause employers not to hire more workers and to layoff a lot of people.

Senior Fox News political analyst Brit Hume laid out why this week’s testimony on last September’s terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya could be problematic for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Hume, speaking on Tuesday’s broadcast of “America Live,” said there is no feasible way for her to escape any responsibility since she had to be involved in the crafting of the talking points that came out after the attack that resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including then-U.S. Ambassador J.

Back in the 1980s, the country faced a familiar dilemma to the one it faces today — the border was insecure and too many illegal immigrants had moved into the United States. At the time, the proposed solution was a bill crafted by then Wyoming Republican Sen. Alan Simpson and Kentucky Democratic Rep. Romano Mazzoli. Signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, it instantly granted 3 million illegal immigrants legal status. Yet a little over 30 years later the problem has returned, with more than 11 million illegal immigrants now in the United States.

Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says the “Gang of Eight” immigration reform bill will, if passed, threaten national security and destroy the Republican Party’s ability to compete on a national level. Buchanan, author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” told radio host Laura Ingraham on Monday that passing a “blanket pardon” of illegal immigrants would be “an act of madness,” particularly in the wake of last week’s terrorist attacks in Boston. “It’s been one week since something like 178 to 180 Americans — three of them murdered — but 178 injured, maimed and wounded by two

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough voiced his agreement with Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, who on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS questioned those Republicans who are threatening a filibuster on pending gun control legislation. Scarborough said such a filibuster would be an example of the GOP putting “rapists’ rights ahead over parents’ rights.” “[I] tell you what, Richard Haass, I saw John McCain there,” Scarborough said. “And I’m hopeful.

It’s a Catholic University. So [when] it says it’s only going to allow heterosexuals, it will get sued. This will become an assault on religion.

In Alabama, no state legislator, Republican or Democrat, would ever question gun rights, given the state’s conservative leanings and rural setting. But Democratic Alabama State Rep. Joseph Mitchell of Mobile, Ala. has a curious take on why his constituents in his majority African-American district should appreciate their Second Amendment rights. In emails sent from Mitchell’s official state legislature account obtained by the blog Yellow Hammer Politics and published Wednesday morning, Mitchell had a heated exchange with a constituent identified as Eddie Maxwell and provided his own defense of the Second Amendment.

In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America Live” on Thursday, Kentucky Republican Sen. Paul told host Bill Hemmer that Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are wrong to criticize him for working to provide legal status to illegal immigrants. Paul, fresh off his win in the Conservative Political Action Conference presidential straw poll, specifically disagreed with the suggestion he is being “suckered” into an agreement with Democrats. “I’ve got a news flash for those who want to call people names on amnesty: What we have now is de facto amnesty,” Paul replied. “We have 11 million people here

On his Friday program, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough ranted against junior Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for questioning the constitutional merits of California Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s gun control proposals. “I don’t mean to go on and on here, but I am so shocked that he would continue to use his seat in the judiciary committee to just mislead millions of Americans and put forward a willfully ignorant position on what the Constitution says and what it does not say,” Scarborough said.

On his Tuesday radio show, conservative talk show host Mark Levin said House majority whip Kevin McCarthy, who this weekend claimed Congress could soon pass a comprehensive immigration bill, has a political death wish. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m convinced the Republican leadership — particularly in the House — has a Republican death wish,” Levin said. “When you put these Mickey Mouse types in charge of the Republican Party in the House, what do you get, Mr. Producer? You get mice turds. And that’s what we have here: mice turds from the likes of [Rep.] Kevin McCarthy.” McCarthy had told CNN

On Laura Ingraham’s radio show on Friday, Washington Post columnist George Will took a few digs at the Obama White House for the way it has handled the so-called sequestration crisis. According to Will, the process has shown the public just where President Barack Obama and other liberals are on government and how any reduction is “intolerable.” “I think the sequester argument is extremely useful because it’s very educational for the American public,” Will said. “When the Obama administration increases on average 17 percent the budgets of the domestic agencies that are now facing a 5 percent cut

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was looking to strengthen ties with Russia as he tries to put an end to the dictatorial regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, but instead he was met with the coldest of receptions. Russian President Vladimir Putin kept Kerry waiting three hours before their meeting at the Kremlin on Tuesday and continuously fiddled with his pen as the top American diplomat spoke about the ongoing crisis in Syria. Kerry’s visit to Moscow comes as he seeks Russian help in ending Syria´s civil, telling President Putin that common interest in a stable Middle East

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

The 49-year-old father of three said he’s splitting from his wife of 17 years to become a woman, or Dawn Stacey Ennis, as she is now known on her governmental records. “Today I begin anew,” she wrote on her Facebook timeline, where she debuted a flirty new profile picture. “Please understand: This is not a game of

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

Benghazi: Incompetence,

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.

“We´ve had a tough go of it this last year,” Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey said Tuesday morning. “The facts are indisputable regarding the impact certain things have had on ad dollars." Dickey told analysts on the earnings call that his radio empire’s revenue was down $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 on top of a boatload of debt. Why? Parse the weasel words (“the impact of certain things”) and you’ll see that Dickey is blaming one man for the precipitous decline of right-wing talk radio’s profitability: Rush Limbaugh. El Rushbo is still a giant in the industry,

Ahead of the Benghazi hearings in which three witnesses are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade invited Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

Fans of Glenn Beck are complaining about what I wrote yesterday about his speech at the National Rifle Association convention, where he used a giant image of Michael Bloomberg photoshopped into what appeared to be an image of Hitler with his arm raised in a Nazi salute and wearing an armband. The Beck crowd now tells me that it wasn’t Hitler’s picture into which the New York mayor was transposed but that of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. They say that means I owe Beck an apology along with the Anti-Defamation League and others who were also outraged by it.
