The Common Sense SOTU Rebuttal

Well, we all saw Governor McDonnell do a solid job giving the GOP rebuttal to the President's SOTU lecture, but, today, Madame wrote a 5 nightstick piece. I think if Tingles Matthews would have read Madame's post he would have said, " the whole time I was reading it I forgot she was a woman".

Madame really tried to be as nice as possible by starting the post with "while I don’t wish to speak too harshly about President Obama’s state of the union address"but here's a list of all the crap you've done to the country in the past year. Madame didn't mince words, so I suggest you read the whole thing. But. here's a summary of all the areas Madame in which called out the Great Opologizer: lack of credibility, contradiction, partisanship, lack of common sense, blaming Republicans, a bad health care plan, lobbyists, drastically increasing the debt, bailouts, taking over the auto industry, discussion of a second stimulus, feet dragging on oil leases, lack of support for Afghan women and Iranian democracy, lack of foreign policy discussion, and a fundamental disconnect with the American people. Whew.

Madame even throw in a few thoughts of her own for solutions . And, as always, the last line was great: "Real leadership requires results. Real hope lies in the ingenuity, generosity, and boundless courage of the American people whose voices are still not being heard in Washington."

That's right, Mr. President, maybe God gave you big ears for a reason--to listen!


Was that too harsh?

The SOTU Address or an Opologist Lecture?



Well, the Great Opologizer gave his State of the Union address. I knew it was going to be a long speech so I preemptively sent TOTUS a case of Red Bull so that he could stay awake. I'll summarize the speech for you all. Blame Bush. Condescension. Spending freeze. Continued crazy ideas on health care reform and climate change. Criticism of the Supreme Court. Hypocrisy. Disconnect. Etc. He even plagiarized Madame and spoke of common sense. Grr!!

If you didn't have the chance to watch it, I'll have to let you know that VP Biden's tie and Pukelosi's suit matched (Barf). Also, the Great Opologizer invited the Ft. Hood heroes, but didn't even take the time to acknowledge them.

You must watch Madame's excellent analysis of the speech embedded above. It was also my Foxnews debut! I'm seated right behind Madame. How did I do? Madame did an excellent job summarizing the SOTU in one word: lecture. You tell 'em, Madame. She also appeared to comment before the SOTU and on Hannity. There's a lot good stuff there too. Madame's not very happy about the Great Opologizer bashing the Supreme Court and the Constitution. She also said that the factcheckers will busy tonight! Hmm, I wonder if there will be more fact checkers to for the State of the Union address than for Madame's book.

I wonder if we'll do a Facebook post on this later. I'd better do some hibernating so that I'm ready to go if we do.
