You don’t see Obama’s pliant MSM talking too much about the fact his State of the Union, which was on 13 stations, drew the lowest rating of any presidential state of the union address in history. The country does not care what the lying son of a bitch has to say. They know he is the teleprompter president who makes promises and never delivers. He’s an empty suit. There is no substance, intelligence or integrity. He is a complete and utter failure. This was his fifth state of the union address and the ratings have fallen every year, from 32.5% in 2009 to 20.7% this week. The graph looks like the inverted chart of the number of people leaving the workforce and number of people signing up for Obama’s most successful program – SNAP.
Obama was on 13 stations and attracted 33 million viewers. I’m sure only a fraction of that number watched more than 15 minutes of the kabuki theater. The Grammy Awards were on the night before and attracted 28 million viewers on one station. Last year’s Super Bowl got a 46% rating and attracted 108 million viewers. Duck Dynasty regularly attracts over 11 million viewers on a crappy cable channel. American Idol gets 13 million viewers a couple times per week.
The country is no longer listening to the savior. He is nothing but a bloviating windbag. This is another sign that the ruling class and the peasants are getting closer to conflict. The people no longer care what the talking heads in the legacy media are saying. Their ratings are also at all time lows. No one trusts the corrupt snakes in Congress. Their approval rating is lower than syphilis. No one trusts the Wall Street shysters, as the average person is out of the market. The disconnect between the ruling class and the plebs has never been wider. Time is growing short. There will be further financial turmoil, boiling anger, violence and eventually war. The ruling class isn’t using their NSA surveillance and DHS arming of police forces around the country for nothing. They know what is coming.
The tuning out of the public to the lies and propaganda being spewed by Obama, lowlife captured politicians and the corporate media is a sign of coming retribution for the guilty and presumed guilty. There will be blood.
