Obama Calls it Being Fair

Tonight Barack Obama will use his election-year State of the Union address to argue that it is government’s role to promote a prosperous and equitable society, drawing a stark contrast between the parties in a time of deep economic uncertainty.

Obama has promised a populist "blueprint for an American economy that’s built to last," with the government assisting the private sector and individuals to ensure "an America where everybody gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share and everybody plays by the same set of rules."

Last week at fund-raisers in New York, he told supporters that his push for a government hand had a precedent dating to the construction of canals and interstate highways, and the creation of land-grant colleges and the G.I. Bill. He said that Republicans had moved so far to the right that 2012 will be a "hugely consequential election."

He is attempting to defuse the Republicans’ small-government message. Obama is confronting them, and framing the election-year debate in a way that aides say will challenge Republicans’ support for unfettered American markets and "you’re-on-your-own economics," as he put it in December in Osawatomie, Kan., in a speech that was a prelude for Tuesday’s address.

Obama will propose to double-down on clean-energy incentives; and to improve education and job training initiatives, especially for the millions of long-term unemployed, the officials familiar with the speech said.

He will revive politically popular proposals from the $447 billion job-creation package that he announced after Labor Day, but that Congressional Republicans blocked. He will again call for subsidies to struggling states to keep teachers and first-responders in their jobs, for money for roads and other infrastructure projects, and for extending for the remainder of the year both the temporary payroll tax cut for 160 million workers and federal payments to the long-term unemployed.

Obama wants you to buy his failed policies and do more of the same. Teachers and first-responders aren't losing their jobs. This is another feeble attempt to buy votes.

Obama will propose an even bigger federal government, higher taxes, and more handouts for the non producers. The speech will be about socialism. Obama will be campaigning for socialism, not freedom.

America don’t let the elitist progressive liberal behavior of Barack Obama and the elitist progressive liberal Democrats destroy America. We are ready to defend our rights and tell the truth the elitist progressive liberal main stream media won’t tell you. Join us America to protect your rights, your country, and your money.
