Here is a secret that isn’t much of a secret. I have made it clear,
both in my posts and in comments at other blogs, that I did not watch
President Obama’s second inaugural address. My reason is simple. I can
not stand listening to someone whom I know is lying to me and the rest
of America. I can easily glean what I need to know from reading the text
of the speech and no, I haven’t even been tempted to watch short clips
of the speech on YouTube.
From reading the speech and other commentaries, one thing is abundantly clear. President Obama does have an agenda for his second term and he highlighted it perfectly in his speech. We already know he believes he shouldn’t have to compromise with Republicans. After all, he has won two – count them, one, two – elections. He has his own set of priorities and he laid them out in his speech last Monday. He wants to fight climate change. He wants stricter gun control. Oh, and he wants to prevent Republicans from making changes to entitlement programs. One thing was sadly lacking in the list of priorities, namely fiscal reforms.
