Looking ahead to President Obama's campaign speech tonight

Heritage: Obama’s Magic Kingdom of Joblessness  "As the Post explained, even without the pipeline, Canada will still export its oil–but across the ocean to China, instead. Meanwhile, the United States will continue importing crude oil from the Middle East. In other words, the environmental lobby might have stanched the flow of oil from Canada, but it’s being diverted onto the seas, and fossil fuel consumption will necessarily continue."


Neal Boortz's always-pithy take on tonight's SOTU  "If Obama won’t tell us the true state of our economy – and we know the ObamaMedia sure as hell wont – we have to leave it up to people like Joseph Curl in the Washington Times to give us the real facts of the ObamaEconomy."  Here are a few...

Hope n' Change looks at it this way:

John Boehner: Obama's State of the Union message 'pathetic'  " "It sounds to me like the same old policies that we've seen: more spending, higher taxes more regulation – the same policies that haven't helped our economy; they've made it worse," Boehner said on "Fox News Sunday."
"If that's what the president is going to talk about Tuesday night, I think it's pathetic."  Also here.

Keep this in mind tonight:“Thirty jobs bills passed over the last year in a Republican House of Representatives that are sitting in the United States Senate – 30,” Boehner said, adding, “Our focus over the last 12 months has been on jobs. Our focus over the course of the next 12 months is going to be on jobs.” John Boehner

Althouse: How Not to Listen to the State of the Union  "But I don't have to watch (or listen) to get that. The State of the Union is usually very tedious because of all the applauding and standing ovations... with half the people in the audience grimly enduring it. Maybe the first 5 minutes are worth it. I like to check out which Supreme Court Justices are there."

Another Obama State of the Union: Let Us Count the Lies  "It did however give me the idea to go back and take another look at fibs in O's previous addresses to Congress.  I was dumbfounded as I read, to list all his whoppers would require a book, but let's examine some of the highlights.

The GOP reminds us that Obama specifically promoted Solyndra in last year’s SOTU:

MSNBC...er, wait! What?

Beltway Confidential:  What Obama won't say tonight  "Tossing political barbs at Supreme Court justices during a nationally televised speech is one thing. It's something else entirely for a sitting president to point a justly accusing finger at the Senate majority leader who will be seated nearby. This is especially the case when both men are Democrats and despite the fact that today marks the 1,000th day since the Senate Democratic majority he leads approved a federal budget."  Just wanted to make sure you saw this point.

Republicans bracing for partisan attacks in Obama's State of the Union speech "Instead, they are bracing for an onslaught of blame from Obama on how Republicans are the ones to blame for the climate of political gridlock in Washington that has lead to the failing economy and increasing number of lost jobs. And, they are ready with an answer -- that the House has done its job in moving a number of favorable jobs bills forward, but a Democratic-controlled Senate has stalled them."
