Bill O’Reilly: BillOReilly.com Column – Misstatement Of The Union
The USA and the world are generally pretty swell right now. Don’t believe it? Then you didn’t listen closely to President Obama’s final State of the Union address this week.The commander-in-chief assured us that the economy is purring, the United States is more powerful than ever, and the people should be content. It makes you wonder whether the president ever sees those polls showing that two-thirds of Americans feel the country is on the wrong track.If he did, he would probably blame talk radio, Fox News, Republicans, and other ‘nattering nabobs of negativism,’ that famous phrase written for Vice President Spiro Agnew by wordsmith William Safire.Just to be clear, Mr. Obama is correct when he says the United States remains ‘the most powerful nation on earth.’ Of course it is, but the USA has become less powerful under his watch. ISIS continues to sow panic and shed blood across large swaths of the Middle East and North Africa, while China and Russia and Iran thumb their collective noses in our direction.
