king barack's platitude party

I am listening to king barack address the Congress. So far, I hear the same speech I heard a couple of weeks ago.
Alot of slogans and platitudes...
Look to the future
Short sighted past administration
Spendulous bill saved the jobs of 57 police officers in Minneapolis
Tax cut?
Really?
Extended unemployment benefits (on the American taxpayer)
Extended medical protection (on the American taxpayer)
"Nobody messes with Joe (Biden)" leading the tough oversight committee
This is just the first step
Clean up the credit crisis
(Notice the wince on Nancy Pelosi's face when he slams the wealthy, such as, the last administration gave tax breaks to the wealthy)
Too many bad loans on the books of our banks
Give money to the banks to make loans
Housing plan to help responsible homeowners reduce the mortgage (how do I get some of that action?)
Banks will have to prove they are lending the money to taxpayers (uh, that the taxpayers are paying taxes to give loans to the taxpayers...huh)
"I refuse to let that happen" (an economy that sputters along for up to a decade)
"it's not about helping banks, it's about helping people"
budget will cut back in areas we don't need (like national defense?)
He wants legislation to quash geothermal fuels that will force the expansion of renewable energy
(wind, solar, clean coal?...did he miss nuclear energy? I think he did)

It's all Socialism and Marxism. The government is going to provide all of these things.
Did he say that he is going to get a cure for cancer?
Wow...impressive
But private business will not provide these things...the government will.
But the government creates nothing. The government does not generate its own income, it merely takes from those that have and spreads it around.
(What must his liberal, rich, Hollywood friends think of all of this?)
Guarantee a complete education...they are going to pay for college now?
What all am I paying for?

He can't stand not to reach back to slap the past administration. Taking a shot at the war, which by the way, kept terrorism off of American soil since 9-11. Taking a shot at our national missile defense systems (this he says we don't need...huh)

He says that any family earning under $250,000 a year will not see a dime of tax increase, in fact he says, 95% of working families will receive tax cut...and the checks are on the way (what checks?)

He will not allow terrorists to plot against us from secret bases halfway around the world (but what about the secret bases in South America, Mexico, and in the United States?)
He has ordered the closing of Gitmo and ordered swift and sure justice for killer terrorists.
"America does not torture" (but you're killin' me with this tough talk that you cannot and will not back up.)

It all sounds good, but how will he pay for this? Are all of his right friends going to pony up huge sums of money to pay for this? Has he made a deal to borrow vast amounts of money from other nations?

And the bottom line: will this stimulate and save the economy?
I hear lots of cautionary language like: this will take time, and it won't happen quickly, blah blah blah...
