What is this man talking about. Who wrote that State of the Union Speech? Who vetted the damn thing? Who checked it for the “stupid factor?”

From the speech… (Jan. 27th, 2010)…

Because of the steps we took, there are about two million Americans working right now who would otherwise be unemployed. 200,000 work in construction and clean energy. 300,000 are teachers and other education workers. Tens of thousands are cops, firefighters, correctional officers, and first responders. And we are on track to add another one and a half million jobs to this total by the end of the year.

From Huffington Post… Jan. 11th, 2010…

Gov. Bill Ritter has proposed a $260 million cut in funding for kindergarten through 12th-grade schools. He also wants to raise $312 million by charging sales tax on candy and soda and by eliminating or suspending a dozen tax breaks.

Senate President Brandon Shaffer, D-Longmont, said lawmakers could start by voting to rescind $110 million that they had set aside for schools. Lawmakers agreed last year to include the money for schools in the budget – but hold on to it to see how the economy, and state revenues fared after they adjourned.

And this is not just happening in Colorado. Outright lies on the part of our President.
