Dear Americans:
This, my second State of the Union address, will be one of atonement.
Folks, no longer can the charades continue. For the past 12 months, I have really messed up. It's been quite a challenge going from community organizer to Senator and then on to the Presidency in four short years.
I have been infatuated with reforming healthcare. Simply, I just wanted to go down in history as the one who finally did it. Nancy, behind me, has as well. We never listened to you and I was selfish. All along, I ignored the 2/3 of you that were against this health care reform.
Bipartisanship. I promised it. It sounded so good. Being frank, it helped me get elected. Yes, I lied to you. It started on day two when I first blamed ole Dubya. It was just so easy. Then it got out of control and this became the hymn for us Democrats.
I told you, America, it would not be business as usual. But, you know what they say back in Chicago don't you? Friends and family are important. Some very good friends of mine are from Louisiana, Nebraska and in the unions. The second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence is clear, something we hold dear to our hearts, yet I have not.
I do not have the courage to fight terrorism and treat the bad guys as combatants. Please understand my intentions were good, as were Chamberlain's so many years ago. I felt that if we demonstrated to the world that the rule of law could prevail, then they would follow along. Now, I know, there really are bad guys out there that want to kill all of you.
My insecurity prevents me from addressing important issues such as China, Iran and the rebirth of Russia. Putin intimidates me - he is really tough, a man's man. I've never been a fan of Chinese food. Nuclear bombs scare me. I saw Chavez of Venezuela as a misunderstood man, so much so that I read the book he gave me many times over.
Most importantly, I have to admit that for over a year I have ignored our economy. This has contributed directly and indirectly to our demise. It was my belief that it would rectify itself with the billions I stole from your pockets, while I focused on healthcare and how I would look on Mt. Rushmore.
Lastly, I need to clear one more thing up with all Americans, a basic lesson in Government. If any party should be at fault for our demise, it must be us, the Democrats. We have controlled Congress, ever since I was just a community organizer. Congress makes the laws and passes the laws. For over a year, we have also controlled the Presidency. Now, things are worse now than ever.
In closing, please support Republicans in November, just as Massachusetts did a few days back, because we, Democrats, have really screwed America.
Thank you and may God Bless America once again in 2011.

Democrats Feel Blue About Brown
Fight or flight. It is has all come undone for the Democrats. The dream is over. Scott Brown, Republican, an unknown merely three weeks ago, has conquered Massachusetts, the Mount Everest of liberal states. How did this happen - that is what the nation is asking today.
Senator Elect Brown's ascent is an epic moment in America's history. For the past year, there have been monumental events unfolding both here and abroad. America finds itself facing challenges not seen in generations, if ever. Anxiety and malaise are widespread throughout the land. No one in Washington has been listening. Democrats have been listless, not exuding confidence but vitriol. Now, they have no choice but to open their ears.
The country is at a crossroads. What do we do with healthcare, cap and trade, deficits, unemployment, the rise of China and India, the nuclear threat, and terrorism?
The majority of the country is against the health care bill. Yet, Democrats want to ram it through and go into the history books. We are scared to death about the economy. Their only solution has been to blame Bush. Things continue to get worse. Iran has nuclear weapons, has suffocated free speech, voting and squashed dissent. The Democrats sit idly by. Terrorists have attempted to strike the US three times in the past year. The Democrats attempt to connect the dots and want to defend their rights. Meanwhile, the rights of American citizens are not prioritized.
Americans have been clear on what they want and don't want. It's simple. We want confidence from our elected leaders. All of us know we are in bad shape across the board. The Democrats turned a deaf ear to us. Their's is an insulated world where there is no consequence. They have not communicated confidence and we, down here, are unsure of their direction. They have ruled through dissonance and now the consequences are evident.
Americans wanted a change for 2009. The Democrats misnterpreted this. The change we wanted was confidence. A simple message from Washington such as, "We hear you, we know things are tough, they will get better and this is how we will do it." No such message can be heard behind closed Democrat doors.
Now, after losing their super majority, Democrat arrogance has led to infighting and the squabbling has begun. Massachusetts pulled the pin. The Coakley and Obama camps sound like pre-pubescent teenagers. The house of Obama and Pelosi is blowing up before us.
Pelosi feels she has the pulse of the nation running through her veins. She is adamant about passing health care one way or another. Forget about building confidence or listening to Americans. This will be suicidal for the Democrats. Massachusetts saved the nation but not the Democrats. How ironic.
Scott Brown, Republican, was elected Senator in the most Democratic state in nation. It was another shot heard round the world. How he won will be studied by Political Science students for years to come. Hopefully, the Republicans begin studying now to prepare for November 2010.
