President Obama claims “that if we did not act” on “an economy rocked by severe recession, a financial system on the verge of collapse, and a government deeply in debt” that “we might face a second depression.” I'd like to remind the President that his actions, as well as Congressional actions and those of the Federal Reserve have not helped, but instead caused higher inflation ad more federal debt. In fact, the Federal government's deficit from 2009 was the largest in American history. And contrary to his opinion, “the worst” has not passed.

Just over 1 year ago, Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States of America & in just a few days he will deliver his first State of the Union Address. However, it will not be his first speech before a Joint Session of Congress. He delivered two non-State of the Union Addresses, his first February 24 & the second on September 9. I would venture a guess that most people do not remember the content of either speech, but do remember that Joe Wilson shouted, “YOU LIE!”
