FactChecking the State of the Union
Obama stretched the facts in his final SOTU on jobs, deficits, health care, military spending and carbon emissions.

Summary
President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address came up short of the facts on several topics:
- He embellished his record on jobs, citing “more than 14 million new jobs,” without mentioning that’s only private sector jobs and only since the job losses hit bottom in February 2010.
- Obama similarly omitted part of his presidency in boasting of nearly 900,000 manufacturing jobs “in the past six years.” Over his entire time in office, manufacturing jobs have gone down by 230,000.
- And he said he had cut the country’s deficits by “almost three-quarters.” But that’s measured from fiscal 2009, which included some increased spending by Obama.
- He repeated his now years-long claim of crediting the Affordable Care Act for a slowdown in health care spending, which economists have linked mainly to the economy. In fact, the growth rate jumped in 2014, when the law’s coverage provisions were implemented.
- Obama claimed, like he did in 2014, that the U.S. has “cut carbon pollution more than any other country on Earth.” That’s true in terms of total tonnage but not in terms of percentage reductions.
- He said that the U.S. spends “more on our military than the next eight nations combined.” That’s close enough in terms of dollars, but as a share of the nation’s economy, the U.S. is only the fourth highest of the top 15 countries.
Analysis
Obama opened his Jan. 12 State of the Union address with a promise: “Tonight marks the eighth year that I’ve come here to report on the state of the union. And for this final one, I’m going to try to make it a little shorter.” And he sort of succeeded — if we only count the seven, not eight, official SOTU addresses. According to data from The American Presidency Project at the University of California, Santa Barbara, the latest speech clocked in at 58 minutes and 44 seconds, more than a minute shorter than 2013’s 59-minute-51-second address. (And several minutes below Obama’s average of one hour, two minutes and 45 seconds.)
But Obama’s 2009 speech, which the project notes was technically not a State of the Union, was only 51 minutes and 44 seconds.
Now we’ll look at what the president actually said in his 58-plus minutes.

Obama last State of The Union Speech should be renamed Obama’s Straw Man Speech.
Loaded with political rhetoric and misrepresentations of the facts Obama constantly presented a false narrative or premise then criticized the other side and The American People.
Obama called for coming together and unity around his presidency of division.
The liberal CBS/NYT poll shows 66% of the people say the country is going in the wrong direction and Gallup reports that 76% of the people say the country is going in the wrong direction.
Many people have been saying that Obama seems to be out of touch with reality and the speech confirmed exactly that.
The upside for America is that in a year he will be gone.

The common thread from people on Obama's last State of the Union address is in three words: disjointed, irrelevant and disappointing

Since you didn't acknowledge my offer I am withdrawing the steak dinner. Seems even you understand the fix is in for Hillary .
Obama claimed in his SOTU that “Iran has rolled back its nuclear program, shipped out its uranium stockpile”
Not even close to true.
According to the “deal”:
- Iran was to ship all of its uranium that was enriched past the level of that used for power generation, not all of its uranium stockpile as Obama implied
- The IAEA was to verify compliance of the above but was denied access to the shipment, the facilities from which it was taken and test both the enrichment level and quantity. All of that is in direct violation of “the deal”
- The IAEA said in a statement that they were taking the matter “under advisement”.
Obama also failed to mention that Iran had recently performed two ballistic missile tests which were again in violation of “the deal”.

Why are democrats in both The Senate and The House calling for Obama to put new sanctions on Iran for the ballistic missile launches?
Though minimized to back pages and few column inches even The Washington Post reported that.
Whats the matter, didn't get your copy of left-wing filtered news?

The posted quote, "“We understand the Administration is preparing sanctions against individuals and entities involved in Iran’s ballistic missile program, and we urge you to announce such sanctions without further delay.” was attributed to no one.
The fact remains that the Democrats in both The Senate and The House want Obama to impose new sanctions on Iran.

Of all of the trolls I have come across in various places on the internet, you are, by far, the dumbest and most dishonest.
And you didn't read the article.
Obama claimed in his SOTU that “Iran has rolled back its nuclear program, shipped out its uranium stockpile”
Not even close to true.
According to the “deal”:
- Iran was to ship all of its uranium that was enriched past the level of that used for power generation, not all of its uranium stockpile as Obama implied
- The IAEA was to verify compliance of the above but was denied access to the shipment, the facilities from which it was taken and test both the enrichment level and quantity. All of that is in direct violation of “the deal”
- The IAEA said in a statement that they were taking the matter “under advisement”.
Obama also failed to mention that Iran had recently performed two ballistic missile tests which were again in violation of “the deal”.You probably should read the news and turn off Rush occasionally. I'm actually starting to believe your some kind of a weird leftie who comes on this site to discredit republicans by telling such obvious lies.

The facts prove you wrong yet again.
Why are democrats in both The Senate and The House calling for Obama to put new sanctions on Iran for the ballistic missile launches?
Though minimized to back pages and few column inches even The Washington Post reported that.
Whats the matter, didn't get your copy of left-wing filtered news?[Edited on 1/15/2016 by Muleman1994]
Who are these Democrats?
Oh wait. I found the answer. It is some guy named Barack Obama.

Democrats, frustrated with Obama on Iran, float new sanctions proposals
You should read what you post.
“We understand the Administration is preparing sanctions against individuals and entities involved in Iran’s ballistic missile program, and we urge you to announce such sanctions without further delay.”
The headline does not match the srticle which is why you were sucked in. You just read the headline. 😛

You should learn to read.
I did read the entire article as well as attend the briefing at The National Press Club by Gen. Tommy Franks who detailed the fallacy of “the deal”, its complete lack of enforceability and exactly why Iran has a clear path to nuclear weapons.
“Your “quote” is liberal manufactured and un-attributed to anyone.
The article clearly demonstrates that Democrats in both The Senate and The House are frustrated with Obama and want Obama to take actions against Iran for their clear violation of “the deal”.
That “deal” has not even been ratified by Iran. Iran’s “parliament” ratified a highly altered version. The U.S. Congress has not approved the Obama/Kerry deal to give Iran the fast track to nuclear weapons.
Spin it as you wish but Iran is making fools of Obama and Kerry, not that that is difficult to do.
Try again, Tom Foolery.
“The United States and our allies must take immediate, punitive action and send a clear message to Iran that violating international laws, treaties and agreement will have serious consequences,” read the letter, which was signed by Rep. Nita M. Lowey (N.Y.), ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee; Rep. Eliot L. Engel (N.Y.), ranking Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee; Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), who chairs the Democratic National Committee; and others.“We understand the Administration is preparing sanctions against individuals and entities involved in Iran’s ballistic missile program, and we urge you to announce such sanctions without further delay.”
You didn't read squat. 😛
