Obama's State of the Union Address

Reading on and between the lines and disregarding the empty rhetoric, it appears that Pres. Obama has thrown down the gauntlet on at least two issues:

1. class warfare is now a campaign promise. (The politics of envy will now become a campaign strategy). You think politics is polarized now? If Obama wins in November, more and more investors, money managers, venture capitalists, etc. are going to be holding onto their money and perhaps looking overseas, thus slowing the recovery. Don't get me wrong, the Internal Revenue Code is in desperate need of reform, but that can be done without the inflammatory rhetoric of class warfare.

2. the best way to fix the economy is government programs and spending. Although the free market system got a rhetorical nod, Obama wants to go to a command and control economy just like the socialist countries of Europe. We all know where they have ended up, but that's where Obama wants to take us. I hope you are registered to vote.
