THE United States today officially stated a goal to cut carbon emissions by 17 per cent by 2020 off 2005 levels, in a submission to the United Nations as part of last month’s Copenhagen meeting.

The United States said it expected to cut emissions blamed for global warming “in the range of 17 per cent” and “anticipated” that Congress would approve legislation to meet the target.

What planet is he living on ?

So true.

(The above was taken from comments by Joe Biden to a FOX NEWS reporter.)

Already this morning, he can proudly announce that Congress has banned foreign corporations from running election ads.

(The fact that this was true before his speech is of no consequence)

In the real world, 8 dem senators have already bailed on the idea of reconciliation, and Mark Pryor (D-Arkansas) thinks that reconciliation will *not* be used to pass the bill in the Senate.

Obama: You liked my speech? Please send money.

About an hour after the end of his State of the Union address, in which he called for an end to the partisan conflict that has plagued his first year in office, President Obama sent out a political fundraising appeal through his permanent campaign organization, Organizing for America.

“I just finished delivering my first State of the Union address,” Obama wrote in the letter, which was headlined “I cannot do it alone.” “I set out an urgent plan for restoring economic security for struggling middle class families. This is my top priority, but I cannot do it alone — and that’s why I’m writing to you now.”

Obama discussed his economic proposals and also vowed not to walk away from the goal of passing a national health care bill. And then the pitch. “I need your voice. I need your passion,” he concluded. “Can you help fuel our fight for the middle class with a monthly donation of $15 or more?”

The Supreme Court Justices Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Scalia are waaaay too classy to respond…and they will DEFINITELY NOT be intimidated by this community organizer, imho.

CJ, Yeah, the USSC slam was noted on all the networks and completely erupted the CNN panels along the usual lines.

Worse still, not noting the two heroes in the hall. Unforgivable.

Sarah was the best commentator tonight. She nailed him.

Agree the Pugs should cut back on the pomp but it was the best they have delivered. Very good on the terrorist’s rights under O.

I suppose the bad/good news is that the POTUS will be staying the course…meaning a rotten economy, legislation the people don’t want…which will lead to an electoral massacre in November. And count on a LOT more Dem retirements in the months to come…
