I tweeted during the whole thing and I’ll put them up later on. In quickly reviewing them, I think this one sums up the speech the best:
There’s NOTHING that the Federal Government can’t do – and nothing that Obama won’t refuse to have it grab. #GROK #TCOT #NHPOLITICS #SOTU
But you all knew that already, right? You know that his idea of a perfect community is just you, and government. Nothing else, for in his Progressives eyes, nothing else matters or should be needed. You see, the story of Julia that Obama released during the campaign, how she would rely on government, was not the whole story, was it? At no time, then or tonight, was there a mention of family helping out, of neighbors helping out, or voluntary associations between other citizens in fraternal organizations or churches, was there? That act of citizens helping each other OUTSIDE THE SPHERE OF GOVERNMENT that De Toqueville said was the vital strength of America – absent.
No, that kind of America does not exist in your Utopia, does it Mr. Obama? Instead, it is only a small individual and a Big Government surrounding that person 360. The intent may be to protect, but that 360 degree wall can also be seen as a cell wall.
