State of the Union Address. Didn’t watch it. Obama is very
good at speechifying, but has a very poor track record of actually delivering
on his promises. Take just about any speech he made during the 2008 “Change” presidential
election and you’ll find that he either a) abandoned the proposal/idea or b)
did the exact opposite of what he said (transparency, anyone?).
Don’t hold your breath that anything substantive will be
done about Obama’s new inequality kick. To actually make a difference, he would
have to inconvenience the very people both parties count on for mega bucks, the
one percenters. No one can afford to get on their blacklist.
The past six year’s of the Obama administration have been little
better than an extension of the Bush presidency. I don’t think there’s any
reason to believe that the next two will be much different.
