     I was right, I believe, in my previous post regarding the "speech".  Obama's heart was not in it.  To be so unassertive so uninvolved was truly something to see.  Not that the President  wanted  that.  The President tried, I believe, with all his heart to come across as a vitally involved man, but nothing he said was new, nothing he recommended was new.  Even his agreements to previously negated issues/points of view, were so shallow as to be meaningless. 
     This then is my analysis, for what it's worth.  President Obama could not surmount his belief that we, the people,  had somehow betrayed him.  He wants to serve another term as I have previously written to give his Progressives the opportunity to complete the "transformation" of America.  I believe that we, the people, got that last night.  He offered no real enthusiasm  for what he was speaking about.  For a moment there, in the very beginning, I heard the "real" Obama slip out...that cocky, self aggrandizing man that has lived his life in a golden room where he could do no wrong.  I thought I heard the "preacher" start to come...he is very good when he gets in that mode.  But, it didn't work.  Especially last night when Gifford was still fresh in the minds of the country, when the Left and Right were "on dates" with each other and not when he was sitting with Speaker Boehner behind him.  Even the crowd was not enthusiastic and I think that had to do with the seating arrangement.  Have you ever done something you normally wouldn't but when in a crowd or a group you do?  Obama was alone last night....he did not have his game on...his adoring majority was gone last night and I almost felt sorry for him...not for long, minutes only...why?  Because this is what he and his wife have worked diligently for for over a quarter of a century.  It's like having the brass ring slip off the tips of your fingers at the very last possible moment. 
     President Obama will now change America as much as he can through executive orders...have his czars make new regulations through the departments across the capitol and try to hoodwink for the rest.   The problem is that he has not only some extraordinary Republicans and conservatives this time out, but that terrible faction The Tea Party promises to try and keep him and his on the truth path.  It will tough and at the end he may not want a second term after all.  This is not what he signed on for.  His "contract" somewhere with someones, promised adulation, complete freedom to do whatever he and his cronies wanted, power beyond imagination.  And, that he got in the first two years.  Obama was so convinced of this that and had such a large ego that he thought he would be able to get away with a disdainful, hateful and partisan attitude towards the other side.  He too, called the Tea Party names as did his supporters in congress, departments and every union under the sun in America.  He never said one word when union thugs beat a man on the street, forced themsleves on a businessman's lawn and scared the kids that were there, and, he never chastised them for egg throwing and hate rhetoric they use continually. He himself was not only hateful, he was rude and his hubris knew no bounds.  Since he had never "been" an average American, never had to hold a real job, never work for his education, never look for work on his own he simply could not, as his Mrs. does not, understand you and me.  That part of him, I don't know about Mrs. Obama, didn't change with the circumstances of governing badly for 21 months.  He left much of the changes he and his party wanted with people like Nancy Pelosi.  Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and hatemongers like Clyburn, Waters and the rest of his majority in both houses.  They don't play nice, never have and they did whatever they wanted behind closed doors without any....any  input from the other side of the aisle.  I have watch this group of progressives for a long time among many others and I can tell you that they have been in the game long enough not to worry about getting what they want....they will bully, lie, cheat and try to twist every committee into something ugly and useless.  But, it won't work like the past anymore.  Now we also have Republicans coming from the Tea Party and they don't want to play the game the old bulls have for decades.  Obama will not be able to ram anything through.  He will be held accountable for being disingenuous as in his attack, untruthfully, against the Supreme Court last year....this year there was a man missing in formation at the front.  He needs to be careful more decent people don't desert him...he will come to need and depend on those who will tell him what he doesn't want to hear...they will be the only ones.
     And, of course, the loss of complete power by the truly uberprogressive, disingenuous lamestream media the rise of Fox News and the Internet will make it more difficult for anyone not tell us, the people, what we must hear to save our country.
