Obama’s State of the Union, or Disillusion

January 25, 2012 by Leave a comment

There’s this chain message swirling around the facebook status reports and I think it essentially does summarize everything Obama said in his address last night in a series of factually incorrect or misdirected bullet points. There’s an incredible amount of disinformation to digest, none of it was unanticipated, but some of it was so old and debunked it was hard to believe the president had the audacity to bring it up in a joint session speech.
