90% of Republicans Who Did Not See Obama’s Speech Disagree With It

Andy Borowitz, in an inspired comedic moment, penned what’s quite prob­a­bly true: Instant Poll: 90% of Repub­li­cans Who Did Not See Obama’s Speech Dis­agree With It.  How­ever, 100% (or van­ish­ingly close) of lib­er­tar­i­ans and inde­pen­dents who DID see it didn’t like it either …

While unthink­ing left­est use­ful idiots lapped it up, Cato Insti­tute schol­ars effec­tively address and debunk the spin to reveal  the SOTU for what it is: largely a long winded, empty, pub­lic jerk-off:

While there is always the expected short-term bounce in pres­i­den­tial approval rat­ings after a SOTU, there were authen­tic bright spots for lib­er­tar­i­ans and inde­pen­dents in Obama’s speech (i.e., mak­ing ear­marks more trans­par­ent and the long awaited and long, Long, LONG over­due with­drawal from Iraq).  How­ever, while the left can take some com­fort in the fact that the GOP is still largely inef­fec­tive, the biggest meme on the left is that inde­pen­dents, who helped get Obama elected, still stand solidly behind their man — this could not be fur­ther from the truth, and no short term bounce is going to reverse the trend: Demo­c­ra­tic sup­port has col­lapsed among inde­pen­dent swing vot­ers.
