Two nights ago, President Obama delivered his annual State of the Union address and, as usual, he declared the state of our union is good. No president has ever said anything differently. Every president is only going to put the best face on the state of affairs in our country.

In the aftermath of listening to Obama’s State of the Union address, I must say I am utterly disappointed. Obama still lives in fantasy land as millions of every day working class Americans struggle just to make ends meet. In my previous article I wrote about Obama having what I deem“Illogical Optimism.”

President Obama boasted about saving 2 million jobs and continued by saying “we’re on track to add 1 million more new jobs.” According to Recovery.gov 640,329 jobs were created or saved from the recovery package, however Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers estimated the number of created or saved jobs at the end of 2009, was between 1.5 million and2 million, two very distinct numbers. The fact that White House advisers gave varying estimates on Sunday talks shows this past weekend, does not help Obama’s credibility.

“The recovery act is working,” said President Obama, moments later he requested a new “job bill,” from congress. The recovery act is not working, in fact in2009 we lost more jobs than what was supposedly saved or created according to the Obama administration. Recent government figures show 4.2 million jobs were lost in 2009, hence the reason behind the 10 percent unemployment rate, which is where it remains. The president is making it harder and harder to find him credible.

It is said that when Alexander the Great visited the philosopher Diogenes he asked the wise man if there was anything he could do for him. Diogenes is said to have replied, “Yes. Stand a little less between me and the sun.”

I thought of Diogenes as I read portions of the president’s speech from Cleveland, Ohio. The New York Times reports that the president used the word fight or some version of it more than 20 times.

Mr. Obama vowed to fight for jobs; he promised to fight for quality education; he promised to fight for health care; fight for transparency in government. He promised to fight! Fight! Fight! And never stop fighting. “So long as I have some breath in me,” he said, “so long as I have the privilege of serving as your President, I will not stop fighting for you.”

Such pronouncements of chivalry no doubt came as a surprise to the parents and children of the opportunity scholarship program.

Also known as the D.C. voucher program the OSP was started in 2003 as a program to provide children from low income families scholarships of up to $7500 to attend non-public K-12 schools within the district.

“Taxpayers deserve to know why the president’s $787 billion stimulus package failed to keep unemployment below 8 percent. We deserve to know why his government takeover of health care stalled somewhere between the House and the Senate, if according to President Obama, the American people support it.
