Tweets from Obama’s speech

GraniteGrok on Twitter

GraniteGrok is on Twitter – for this speech, instead of live blogging here, I just decided to tweet as Obama spoke.  Tweeter allows for looking backward at what one does, so here’s what I said during Obama’s time at the rostrum.  Entries are in reverse chronological order (latest first).

The hash tag (the "#" character) TCOT stands for Top Conservatives on Twitter – allowing us to broadcast to a rather wide audience all over the Web.  If you see and "@" char, that is a response from me to another person on Twitter about what they may have said as well.  [anything in these brackets is my attempt, just here on the ‘Grok, to give a bit of context]

@DavidJohnsonSV Whew, it’s over! 
   
@rorycooper #tcot #sotu #nsotu Great point – he got to redistribute his wealth HIMSELF; Obama wants govt to do that for him [the FL banker that decided to share his bonus with his co-workers – LARGE sum of money!]
   
@apackof2 #TCOT Stopping the Great Liar…..that is now the mission. [get a Repub, a good CONSERVATIVE REpub in the WH]
   
@DavidJohnsonSV 2 hours…oy! There’s LOTS of snow here in NH….let me go freeze myself [my reaction if I had had to listen to him for 2 solid hours]
   
@DavidJohnsonSV welcome! A bad movie at least has a plot…..and an end….this may never stop!
   
@apackof2 #TCOT Yeah, the reason I left MA – couldn’t stand the price in my taxes [MA – mandatory cradle to grave care]
   
@trevor_shipp class warfare – nothing more. [separate the groups, set one against another – so much for being a Uniter, eh? Isolate, denigrate, then destroy an entire class of Americans]
   
#TCOT and more money for military living quarters….the Marines get crap compared to the other branches – I saw my son’s shared room. [his room was pretty bad….I could see giving up a B2 for better barracks]
   
@NHJennifer #tcot #gop amusing, isn’t it (if it wern’t so serious) [Jennifer made a good observation]
   
@DavidJohnsonSV #tcot Channel cheerleader – good observation! [Pelosi channeling being a cheerleader]
   
#TCOT Wars do not end….you either win or you lose…..Ties get you North Korea [If you quit a war, that is a retreat.  You’ve lost.  Americans hate losers]
   
#TCOT OH MY GOD – he DID just say tax free Universal health accounts?????? [IF this is what I think it is, I COULD be in favor of this…]
   
#TCOT – he just threw small biz owners under the bus w/<$250K  [revenue from most small bizs flow directly as personal income – and most make over that in entirety.  Not good, as they ARE the economic and jobs engine of America.  Mark my words, they will shut it down – it JUST WILL NOT BE WORTH IT]
   
#TCOT he just said it – weapon systems we don’t need [dialing down the military – WHY am I not surprised and WHY am I thinking that it will not be just a couple weapon systems?]
   
#TCOT over / under he DOESN’T get the savings – and the over / under he does only by slashing Military (the only Constitutional spending) [he will not reach his "slash the deficit at end of 1st term’ and if he does, the military will pay a lot of it]
   
#TCOT Chutzpah – not passing debt on to our kids….yer about a week late, dude….and enuff with the inherit already [you just spent a trillion bucks and NOW you want to cut back? ahahahaha….uh-oh….sobsobsobsobsob]
   
#TCOT I’m fine with the parent is responsible for education….will he give them school choice? [he lavished so much praise on parents on their kids education, will he give them COMPLETE authority and power??]
   
#TCOT oh great, what did Hatch and Kennedy cook up????? [no clue here]
   
#TCOT we will NEVER have the highest level of college grads int he world – if we do, a degree will be worth the same as a dollar. [inflation from his spending will ruin the dollar – if everyone has a degree, what’s the difference?]
   
#TCOT, so, one is unpatriotic if you don’t stay in school? [will he mandate that everyone has to get a college degree – to help the country?]

#TCOT Let’s just do away with local / County / State govt and make it easier for the Imperial Obama to have his decrees implemented [there seems to be no separation of powers in his mind – it is all Feds all the time
   
#TCOT Barry JUST socialized Education FOREVER! [Free education until you die?  Oh my!]
   
#TCOT wanna watch how FAST healthcare insurance provider stock is going to fall tomorrow??? [expect a LOT of downward pressure on stocks tomorrow – but Obama just announced a huge competitor for them – the Federal Government.  Who can compete against taxpayer funded programs?]
   
#TCOT instead of having Govt or Employers run healthcare, why not let PEOPLE run their own & get the other 2 out of that business!!! [Use Health Savings Accounts, catastrophic insurance – after all, my car insurance doesn’t pay for my gas.  Get govt AND employer distortions out of the marketplace]
   
#TCOT major cost of healthcare? Betcha Obama will NEVER mention the government mandates that raise the cost of insurance [Obama was complaining about the cost of healthcare.  While modern equipment, techniques, and medications are costly, govt HAS has a large heavy hand at both the State and Federal levels]
   
#TCOT he refuses to lower my mortgage and my house is worse less [sorry, he IS rewarding bad behavior and he CANNOT admit that he can’t tell the good for the bad]
   
#TCOT Notice that the only entity that is not ever at fault in his speech is Government & it s policies (and yes, he loves HUMONGOUS Govt) [everything that was and is wrong get blamed EXCEPT government.  I can forgive the little stuff, but the stuff that has can be directly tracked back to govt policies]
   
#TCOT The Most Esteemed wife, the unpolitical 1, has a steady stream of invectives towards the TV (I have nailed down all throwable objects) [she was not a happy camper….tv still intact]
   
Oh please…Biden in charge…he actually is proud of saying that??? [O announcing Biden in charge of the Stimulas oversight]
