Tantrum at the Whine of the Union Address
In November, 2008, this country elected a President with virtually no experience based on the promise of hope and change. The people hoped Obama would grow into the job as he administered this hope and change. That is what makes this country great, virtually anyone can become President. Obama proves that point.
With a super majority in the Senate, control of the House and a popularity rating in the 70% range, the new President seemed poised to push through any legislation he desired, but something funny happened along the way. The American people rejected his policies of government take-over, drunken-sailor spending, backroom deals and Miranda rights for terrorists. The American people grew tired of his ad nauseum apologies. They did not like to call the war on terror an overseas contingency. The change promised during the campaign became 15 cents on the dollar and the hope was maybe it would become 20 cents. The American people tried to express these grievances during the spring and summer with tea parties all across America. Prior to the Revolutionary War, the original tea party in Boston was a protest against the heavy-handedness of the King. The modern tea parties are trying to convey the same sentiment. Our would-be King, the Child President, is pushing his agenda of ‘Big Brother’ government regardless of the Constitution or the will of the people.
The Child President and his Court, along with the Court Jester, Joe Biden, continued to be oblivious to the tea parties. The tea party participants were vilified, called racists, Nazis and stupid people who cling to their guns and religion. The tea parties were dismissed as a few right wing dissidents too stupid to understand the Child President.
Then along came the Massachusetts senate race. The Child President campaigned in that state and derided the American-made 200,000 mile truck driven by Brown. That crazy bunch of right wing dissidents in Massachusetts elected Republican Scott Brown to the Senate over Democrat Martha Coakley to the seat held by the late Ted Kennedy since 1962. Obama would no longer enjoy a super majority in the Senate and would have to actually have to invite those rascally Republicans to meetings. Well there goes the neighborhood. The Child President suffered his first scrapped knee and was not happy about it. 
The Child President took the opportunity of the State of the Union Address to throw a tantrum. He turned it into the Whine of the Union Address instead. He whined about partisan politics just before he bashed the Republicans. He whined about the Supreme Court while the members of that Court were sitting there in front of him. He whined about TV pundits. He whined about the evils of lobbyists and then invited them to a meeting the very next day. He whined about Bush. He whined about the deficit, promising to freeze spending in 2011, but he ran up a record deficit in only one year. The petulant Child President does not want to hear from the unwashed populous the king is wearing no clothes. If you think it difficult to rear a Child President, just wait until his teen years. God help us all .,, Wait, can I still say God?
