The State of the Union...

...is, in some ways, considerably better than it was a year ago, when the hope 'n change tsunami threatened to wash away everything not lashed to a government program. We've still got problems - high unemployment, a big debt load, a series of tepid responses to the world's bad guys - but the prognosis for improvement is good, mainly because of the increasing level of disenchantment with President Jesus H. Obama, and the prospects for an enormous backlash against the Democrats this fall.

David Axelrod says that the SOTU address will focus on jobs.

I'm sure it will: David Axelrod's job, Rahm Emanuel's job, Barack Obama's job...

After a year of trying to ram the health "reform" crap sandwich down our throats, only now they'll about the economy. But not until they are tanking in the polls, and have lost three major elections.

Yeah, that's real hopenchange.

Those, and my standby HONK IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE JOBLESS are getting a lot of response.

Paco, how many steps in this recovery program? I'm hoping it's not "Thirteen".
