Poll: SOTU Viewers Say Biden Did Not Talk Enough About Inflation or Violent Crime

This from breitbart.com

A majority of State of the Union viewers do not believe President Biden talked enough about inflation or violent crime, a CNN Poll released Wednesday found.

The survey, taken March 1 among 544 respondents, asked viewers if they believe Biden did enough to address certain issues, including inflation and violent crime.

Overall, 53 percent said Biden did not do enough to discuss inflation, and 54 percent said he did not do enough address violent crime either.

🙶 Indeed, Biden only mentioned inflation a handful of times, touting his vague plan to “fight inflation” and build a “better America.”

“My plan to fight inflation will lower your costs and lower the deficit,” Biden claimed. He will do that in part, he said, by cutting the cost of prescription drugs and slashing energy costs for families by “combating climate change.”

Biden did not speak at length about violent crime in blue cities either, simply stating that it is important to invest in crime prevention and community police officers.

🙶 We should all agree: The answer is not to defund the police. The answer is to fund the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities,” Biden said, essentially ignoring the fact that members of his own base have been calling to defund the police for a solid two years.

🙶 Notably, Biden spent a sizable portion of his speech on the conflict in Ukraine, and while a majority of the survey’s respondents said he addressed it sufficiently in his speech, 64 percent say economic issues in the speech were more important than the situation in Ukraine.

The state of the union is evident for all to see throughout the world, the globalist elite and the deceitful members of Congress are steadily leading America through a pronounced decline.

Seems Biden just saying that he "gets it" about the terrible inflation he caused is no help for Americans hammered by it. Stolen elections do have consequences. Everything about Biden’s time in office will be a total failure for America.

Because of Biden's weakness and incompetence, world security is falling apart and will spread. The "root cause" of the border invasion is by the Democrat’s design, not 'other causes.' Our outrageous inflation is by Democrat design with their war on domestic energy production.

‘State of the Union Is Disunity and Division’: AP Rips Biden Before Tuesday Speech

The centerpiece of the establishment media on Monday diagnosed President Biden’s state of the union as rife with “disunity and division.”

The following from breitbart.com.

🙶 One day before Biden is set to deliver the State of the Union Address, the Associated Press (AP) preempted his speech with an article describing the actual state of the country as one of “disunity, funk and peril.” The article slammed Biden for his leadership during a time when the nation’s “strength is being sharply tested from within — and now from afar.”

The outlet slammed Biden’s state of the union as weak, and not strong enough for Biden to declare it so, hinting he should not in Tuesday night’s speech.

“It’s a state of exhaustion from the pandemic,” the outlet stated. “It’s about feeling gouged at the grocery store and gas pump. It’s so low that some Americans, including prominent ones, are exalting Russian President Vladimir Putin in his attack on a democracy,” the article said, and drew comparisons with Jimmy Carter’s time in office, when Carter said the nation was in the midst of a ‘crisis of confidence.’

The AP pointed to polling and data to back up its diagnosis:

🙶 ● Only 29% of Americans think the nation is on the right track, according to the February poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

● In December’s AP-NORC poll, most said economic conditions are poor and inflation has hit them on food and gas.

● Most Americans are vaccinated against COVID-19, but debates over masks and mandates have torn apart communities and families.

● Consumer prices over the past 12 months jumped 7.5%, the highest since 1982, as many pay raises were swallowed up.

● Measures of happiness have hit a bottom, with fewer Americans saying they are very happy in the 2021 General Social Survey than ever before in five decades of asking them.

There are other terrible metrics for Biden, which speak to the challenges his party will face come the November midterms:

● Fifty-six percent say Biden’s first year in office was a failure, according to NPR polling.

● Fifty-eight percent say Biden’s America is worse off than they were one year ago, according to Fox News polling.

● Another fifty percent believe they have less money in their pockets, a Fox News poll showed.

🙶 In Biden’s first year as president, inflation has increased to a 40-year-high. Supply chain woes have continued. More than two million migrants have been apprehended at the southern border. Gas prices have risen by $1.00 since last year. Fentanyl has become the greatest killer among 18-45-year-olds. Weekly wages have tanked. And the deadly Afghan withdrawal deeply embarrassed the nation.

Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on Friday it was dropping indoor mask mandates, just in time for President Biden’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday.

Despite no change in the science of coronavirus transmission, senators, representatives, and those in the gallery will no longer be required to wear a mask. The mask requirement being dropped just days before Biden’s speech reportedly coincides with his strategy to suggest he has once again defeated coronavirus.

The AP saying the state of the union is "disunity and division" is the understatement of the century. But even that is way too mild. The disunity and division is from an illegitimate coup that has forced the country down a path of total destruction. We are not angry because of some minor little disagreements. The left is actively trying to destroy the greatest country ever, with most of the media and many so-called lawmakers with them.

Biden must know he lost through cheating but he is not man enough to admit it, resign and save the country. He will continue to do what Obama tells him. No sane person in America will watch this buffon stumble through a speech filled with lies and deception. The stolen election is destroying America and has destabilized the world. Joe Biden has lived off the largesse of the US taxpayer his entire life. He is in fact a government welfare bum and a wealth one.

Trump Punts To Pelosi On State Of The Union Address

Newly minted Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi has been drunk on power ever since regaining the mighty gavel and has been engaged in an ugly pissing contest with President Trump over the government shutdown.

In one of the snits that are what now pass for political discourse with Democrats, Pelosi went to the unprecedented length to disinvite Trump from giving the annual State Of The Union address even though she had previously extended the traditional invitation.

Not to be deterred by the foot-stomping Californian, Trump defiantly indicated that he would be giving the SOTU anyway but Pelosi then upped the ante again by escalating with a letter to the POTUS effectively canceling the speech.

Nancy Pelosi:
This afternoon, I sent Donald Trump a letter informing him that the House will not consider a concurrent resolution authorizing the President’s State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened.

It was at this point where Trump supporters were ready for a scathing statement showing Nancy who it is that wears the pants along with the announcement of an alternate venue for the SOTU.

Donald Trump:
As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed. She then changed her mind because of the Shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative - I will do the Address when the Shutdown is over. I am not looking for an alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber. I look forward to giving a “great” State of the Union Address in the near future!

Talk about demoralizing. There will be those who will blow this off that Trump is just playing four-dimensional chess but there’s just no way to put lipstick on this pig.

If he caves on this, what will he cave on next?

What do you all think?

Blog Author's Comments: The President could have chosen a different venue and gained a great deal. He could have had the necessary security and invited all of the members of both parties. He could have presented a great State of the Union address, but also taken the time to tell the American people why the wall is so important for the country with valid facts.

He could have done all of this without having to listen to the hecklers and boos from the gallery and grumbling from the Democrats. So, why not? I believe he has missed an excellent chance to convince many voters why he wants the security for the country and all people and why it is so necessary. Also ask the question of the American people why the Democrats do not also want the same thing?

Line From State Of The Union Address Was Not Amusing

Why was this line even in the State of the Union address?

Obama: “Of course, a great education isn’t all we need in this new economy. We also need benefits and protections that provide a basic measure of security. After all, it’s not much of a stretch to say that some of the only people in America, who are going to work the same job, in the same place, with a health and retirement package, for 30 years, are sitting in this chamber. For everyone else, especially folks in their 40s and 50s, saving for retirement or bouncing back from job loss has gotten a lot tougher.”

---

Blog Author's Comments -- Hey folks, wake up! They are laughing at the people who sent them there. And this is why "bouncing back from a job loss has become a lot tougher." Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats are the main reason why there are so many people out of the work force. But, it is both parties who are responsible for the state of the economy.

This is why we need someone who has not spent years in Washington D.C. and government, as the next president and that is why I believe Donald Trump should be the nominee for the Republican Party. I am not troubled that he can defeat whoever the nominee for the Democrat Party happens to be.

SOTU Address - More Promises and More Lies

Obama Will Again Tell Us His Focus will be on Jobs,
the Economy, Bipartisanship and More Spending
Obama will use tonight's State of the Union address to call for a common ground approach to get the nation's financial house in order. He has to do this after the defeat his party suffered in November.

He will also talk about jobs and "targeted investments" but the GOP should view these "investments" as only more stimulus money.

This (video) was President Obama's posturing attempt to act bipartisan and conciliatory at last year's State of the Union address. Of course, just weeks after this the President worked with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to ram his health care legislation through the house without any contribution from Republicans.

Needless to say, President Obama never scheduled the meetings he made such a big deal about in his address.



Blog author's comments - This year Obama will say much the same thing he did in last year's State of The Union address.

He will again talk about jobs creation and bipartisanship but he has no plan to accomplish this. He will probably use the term "investments" but this is only more stimulus money. The MSM will praise him and his meaningless words as usual.

Do the voters watch the SOTU? If so, do they believe Obama and what he will tell them? Nothing will change until he is out of office and that should be the main goal of the GOP.

What is the problem with some Republicans? Many of them are lining up a Dem as their 'date' for the SOTU address. They just won a huge election in November via the Tea Party Movement and their voters. The GOP now has some power and it is not the time to play nice with the Democrats.

The Democrats should be considered the enemy of the GOP if the Republicans want to turn this country around towards a new direction and defeat Obama in 2012.

Justice Samuel Alito - Doubts That He Will Attend Next State of the Union Address

newsmax.com - Asked if he would attend the State of the Union address next year, after the TV cameras this year caught him objecting to President Obama’s denigration of the country’s highest court, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said, “I doubt that I will be there in January.”

Delivering the Manhattan Institute’s prestigious Wriston Lecture on Wednesday evening, Alito noted that other justices, like the recently retired John Paul Stevens and current Justice Antonin Scalia “stopped the practice of attending State of the Union addresses, because they have become very political.”

Attendees of the black tie event in New York City told Newsmax that Alito complained of it being “very awkward” for the justices who attend the annual speech in the presence of the assembled members of both houses of Congress.

We have to sit there like the proverbial potted plant,” Alito said, and provoked howls of laughter from the crowd when he deadpanned that the justices who are “more disciplined refrain from manifesting any emotional opinion whatsoever.”

It was a self-deprecating remark; in January, as he sat near the podium during Obama’s speech in the Capitol, Justice Alito was affronted by the president’s charge that “the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections.” - Read more > > >

Blog author' comments - At the SOTUA Justice Alito was apparently upset by what the president said.

"Videotape of the event shows Alito wincing, then apparently saying, “that’s simply not true.” - "Directly behind Alito, Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Senate Democratic Caucus vice chairman Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. the second and third ranking Democrats in the Senate, gleefully took to their feet and cheered as Alito and the five other justices in attendance remained seated, looking uncomfortably intimidated.”

This was of course the intent of President Barack Hussein Obama. The State of the Union address has always been political but the difference now is the current 'president' has no class. Justice Alito does not have to lower himself by sitting silently while Obama chastises the Justices. Hopefully Roberts and Thomas will also stay away.

Of course the wise Latina, Sonia Sotomayor will be sitting in the front row with Elena Kagan and Ginsburg, hanging on Obama's every word he reads from his teleprompter.

It is way past time for politeness and courtesy towards the liberals. When will the GOP wake up and acknowledge that the left is at war with us. Those who we vote for need to remember that and begin acting like it.
