The President has been speaking for about five minutes. \u00a0It’s way too early for the “early returns” on his speech, but I have a prediction: I think that his high-handed yet empty rhetoric about what he will and will not tolerate or allow, and all the rest of his claptrap is going to bang hollow in a silent room.<\/p>\n

I do believe that I am not alone in being spectacularly unimpressed with this moron upon the occasion of this part-campaign, part-lecture. \u00a0Now I have never been for the man, but tonight marks a special moment. \u00a0I have never heard him more urgently condescending, as if he must somehow pound his elementary knowledge into the heads of a bunch of retards (that would be us) before heading out for a date or a party or a plane to somewhere he doesn’t hate, \u00a0so he can speak to people he doesn’t despise.<\/p>\n

So I’m just throwing a marker down here. \u00a0I think that the 19th of September will be a day he regrets, and soon. \u00a0I’ve never liked him, and recently I loathe him, but this is new. \u00a0I simply hold him in the utmost contempt, and I feel that this will be widespread.<\/p>\n

The only thing new in this insulting harangue is the actual amount, plucked from a hat apparently, of one point five TrIlLiOn dollars in “revenue enhancement”.<\/p>\n

“Read my lips: Mo’ new taxes!”<\/p>\n
