President Obama’s State of the Union address was an incoherent, disorganized, and most regrettably defiant speech. In one-word, a mess, that was high on rhetoric and filled with blatent warped lies. As if it appeared he would pivot to the center, it was just that, an appearance.

Obama Lies About Lobbyists
Tonight, Barack Obama said, “To close that credibility gap we must take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue to end the outsized influence of lobbyists; to do our work openly; and to give our people the government they deserve.
“That’s what I came to Washington to do. That’s why — for the first time in history — my Administration posts our White House visitors online. And that’s why we’ve excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions.”

But it is not just Lynn.
