   Just raise taxes.

   Noted investor, free market advocate, and author Jim Rogers during an interview with Glenn Beck on Wednesday said that Tuesday’s State of the Union address makes you wonder whether President Barack Obama is “delusional” or just a good liar.

   Our “debt is physically impossible to pay off,” Rogers said after Beck asked whether the country has passed the point of no return. “We are the largest debtor nation in the history of the world.”

   “If everybody paid 100 percent of their earnings as taxes, we still couldn’t pay it off,” he added.

   What has happened; it really is so painful to watch this party lose its values in the name of politics

   What happened is that certain elements of conservative media (particularly radio hosts and book writers) have been wildly successful over the last ~30 years, and there is a double-edged sword to such a phenomenon. I mean, imagine what a Democratic primary would look like if someone like Bill Maher had an audience and level of influence that was as large as Rush Limbaugh’s. It’s just a political reality for the GOP right now that the candidate that sounds the most like a talk radio shock jock can draw a legitimate following in a primary, sometimes enough to even win one.

   Yep, I called it. CNN won. None of these is surprising. Conservatives have had enough of hearing Obama’s spending promises. We knew what he is going to say and don’t need to hear it. He never give any details on how he is going to do anything, just high level pie in the sky ideas and the creation of problems that don’t exists.

   The liberal press is nothing more then a group of grade school bullies. They made fun of Marco because he was sweating and he took a drink of water. What a bunch of racist. They were only picking in him because he’s Latino.

   Cathy…

   Remember how much Obama is attacked because he stumbles on his words and reads a teleprompter? Remember the months and months they attacked him for that….and yet you sit here and think the left shouldn’t attack Marco…? LOL!!!

   Wow, liberals go look at the page that details the ratings for SOTU addresses. Bush’s number of viewers was never that low. And Bush’s high bets Obama’s high. O only has three more tries to beat Bush’s numbers. So, he better start working on his speech for next year.

   Cathy–Rubio was sweating and dry-mouthed because he knew he was telling lies. It’s almost as if the right wing GOP had a gun on him when he was talking….but nobody believed what he was saying anyway…”a ladder to the clouds of the middle class.”…nobody except John Keats…..

   and yet, Bush’s ratings was pretty much the LOWEST ratings a president has ever had….

    @redbarsoup, He stumbles on his words. Wasn’t that W. Bush and didn’t the liberal press talk about that all the time.

    Obama can’t give a speech without a teleprompter. It’s a fact. I didn’t hear anyone on the right talk about Obama using a teleprompter yesterday.

    The way the liberal press is going in you would thing that Marco picked his nose and eat it.

    I’ve never heard the right spend months and months attacking Obama about using a teleprompter or stumbling on his words. Which are both very different from taking a drink or sweating.

    Also didn’t your mother even teach you that two wrongs don’t make a right?

    You people on the left keep saying you are the party that can raise above. So, raise above and stop acting like bullies.

    @redbarsoup, We need to check your history.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_approval_rating

    Bush’s approval ratings didn’t fall until the 2008 election cycle. Which shows us how well the democrats and Obama did at making Bush the evil villain. How people view W. Bush continued to fall after he left office as Obama and the democrats kept blaming every problem on Bush.

    LOL at Cathy. They STILL go after Obama every now and again for using a teleprompter….But hey, it’s OK to go after him for doing it, but how DARE they go after Marco.

    Bush’s average approval rating is 49.4%
    Obama’s average approval Rating is 49%

    And Redbatsoup said Bush had the lowest ratings.

14. RedBarSoup

    Posted February 13, 2013 at 6:51 PM

    Yes, Bush’s ratings only went down because of the Democrats throwing out words, not his performance. Check my history? I was correct. Bush had the HIGHEST disapproval rating of 71%. I only bring this up because you think it’s so important how many people watch Obamas speech, when Bush had THE worst disapproval rating. I’m pretty sure approval ratings are more important than what silly people watch the State of the Union Address.

    @redbarsoup, give me a link that shows that last time the right went after Obama for using a teleprompter? I don’t want to talk theory. I want to talk facts.

    Did I say average? NOPE. Stop twisting words like you are so used to doing.

17. Cathy

    Posted February 13, 2013 at 6:56 PM

    Red, you liberals were going off on how many people were watching Obama. I was just showing you that his numbers weren’t that good.

    The average approval rating is more important then a one week low. Bush’s average approval rating is higher then Obama’s.

    Posted February 13, 2013 at 6:59 PM

    YES, I’m a liberal now for showing the hypocrisy on both sides. YESSSSSSS. One week low!? HAHAHAHAHAH

    Posted February 13, 2013 at 7:00 PM

    I love how I can pick on both sides, but as soon as i lean a little left in some of my statements I’m called out for being a liberal….the left doesn’t do that….

    @Redbarsoup, Bush’s ratings was pretty much the LOWEST ratings

    Correct me if I am wrong but the “s” means more than 1. It means all of his ratings. So, if you are talking all that gives us an average.
