It was so hackish, so devoid of any theme or purpose, that it makes one wonder whether part of Obama just wants to see how bad he can be before his cultists in the news media can see it. Every speech is exactly what they wish it to be, regardless of reality. His mainstream inaugural speech was treated as a liberal call to arms when it was no such thing. Of course, conservatives thought that. If Obama had announced he just joined the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh would have seen it as proof that he was a socialist. But why liberals would confuse a boilerplate middle-of-the-road inaugural speech with Das Kapital will be forever befuddling.]]>Wed, 13 Feb 2013 08:00:04 -0500<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]>https://hotair.com/headlines/2013/02/13/same-old-same-old-lets-face-it-obama-blew-an-opportunity-last-night-n100108
