Anybody watch it? Anybody care?

I calculate the usual suspects will hate every word, and the other usual suspects will hail it as the most sound, serious, and soaring rhetoric since King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

Any takers?

Everything is wonderful and we're teetering on the brink of the Apolcalypse.

$350 billion in new taxes will pay for $1 trillion in new spending.

Fred and Mary in Peoria are doing fine thanks to their own hard work, which is entirely to the credit of my government programmes.

We need a strong military to protect us from Scary Muslims, so let's cut the military.

The American people have given control of everything they can to Republiklans, which proves the Dumbocrats are right.

Fact is everybody agrees on 97% of everything, so politicians, preachers, and pundits gotta stoke fear and outrage over the remaining 3% or nobody'll pay them any mind. Then they'd have to work for a living.

The Republicans were quite happy they wouldn't face him in a threepeat.

Are you certain that all the issues he raised in his speech are attempting this tactic though?
