The annual Presidential State of the Union Speech is today and I’ve been perusing articles on the subject. I came across this one, from Christopher Buckley (the late William F. Buckley’s son), “The Audacity of Oops”, that was posted on the Daily Beast. It’s a satire piece on a sneak preview into Obama’s 2010 State of the Union Speech. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Frankly, the economy is not what it should be, which is why the state of the union is a 9.8 instead of a perfect 10.

I called in the smart folks in my administration, many of them educated at Harvard, and I put it to them directly. I said, “Is this my fault?” And to a person they said, “No, sir! No way!”

I said to them, “Well then, whose fault is it?” And they said, “It’s the bankers, Mr. President. The scum-sucking, stimulus money-accepting, bonus-awarding, self-regarding swine who inhabit the street of shame and infamy, the harlot’s den known as Wall Street.”

I said to them, “And what are we going to do about them? We can’t hang them all. We don’t have enough rope. And anyway, rope is expensive and I’m trying to cut the deficit. Ideas, people. I want ideas.”

So tonight I can announce to you, my fellow Americans, the creation of a bipartisan commission to study how to kill the bankers in an efficient and hemp-sensitive manner.

That’s quite the statement, coming from a man who posted this during the 2008 Presidential Election, Sorry, Dad, I’m Voting for Obama:

But having a first-class temperament and a first-class intellect, President Obama will (I pray, secularly) surely understand that traditional left-politics aren’t going to get us out of this pit we’ve dug for ourselves. If he raises taxes and throws up tariff walls and opens the coffers of the DNC to bribe-money from the special interest groups against whom he has (somewhat disingenuously) railed during the campaign trail, then he will almost certainly reap a whirlwind that will make Katrina look like a balmy summer zephyr.

So, I wish him all the best. We are all in this together. Necessity is the mother of bipartisanship. And so, for the first time in my life, I’ll be pulling the Democratic lever in November. As the saying goes, God save the United States of America.

As a conservative who couldn’t vote for John McCain, Christopher Buckley has sure changed his tune about Obama, hasn’t he!

On the flip side of the political spectrum, there’s Newsweek’s Evan Thomas, a liberal and avowed Obama sycophant who had this to say over this past weekend:

Wow, can you tell us how you really feel, Evan! This coming from a guy who proclaimed Obama’s god-like qualities not that long ago:

The change in attitude of conservative, Christopher Buckley and liberal, Evan Thomas towards Obama is quite striking, don’t you think?

It’s the same thing that happened last week when the people of Massachusetts, spurred on by independent swing votes, elected Republican Scott Brown for the Senate seat that’s been occupied by the Democrats since 1952 and 47 years by patron saint of Obamacare, Teddy Kennedy.

People across the political spectrum are seeing what “hopey changey” is really all about and they’re rejecting it.

It’s called Obama buyers remorse!

I bet he’ll try talking his way out of it in his State of the Union Speech! Count how many times he says “I” and “me”…
