This is where it all happened tonight right back here behind me state of the union.
And my advice to you prepare yourself.
If history serves as any guide were in for a solid hour of the state of the union tonight.
That's about how long the president spoke -- before when he delivers this -- the speech I mean message to congress.
Here's a -- to the event starting with the words of the -- he might use that they require explaining.
You know doubt know that when the president -- fair or fair share.
Her out because he's really talking about tax hikes.
Likewise sacrificed balanced compromise.
Well those sorts are all away and getting to the same issue higher taxes.
Some of the words -- -- -- mean the opposite of the textbook definition for example you know that's affordable and reference to the affordable health care act.
Was anything but affordable.
In the same way gun safety really means gun control.
And children and grandchildren are the folks picking up the tab for us while references to investment means special benefits for administration supporters like union said.
Green energy companies.
Thanks to Americans for Tax Reform for help on our state of the union glossary.
You know it's not just the words -- -- that uses that are likely to be confusing he's also gonna make some promises.
About the future and he's done that before.
We looked back at some of the previous promises he made that.
They didn't go so well for example his first state of the union back in 2009.
Keep -- to cut the deficit in half.
Yesterday I -- I held a fiscal summit where -- pledge to cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term in office.
My administration has also begun to go line by line through the federal budget in order to eliminate wasteful and ineffective programs.
Did that happen.
So instead Obama average deficits nearly three times that of its predecessor.
Here's another promise from 2009.
-- Over the next two years this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs.
More than 90% of these jobs will be in the private sector.
Jobs rebuilding our roads and bridges constructing wind turbines and solar panels laying broadband.
And expanding mass transit.
Not a chance.
Instead according to The Heritage Foundation the economy is seven point seven million jobs in the -- and don't forget -- -- This budget builds on these reforms in includes a historic commitment to comprehensive.
Health Care Reform.
A down payment on the principle that we must have quality affordable health care for every American.
It's a commitment.
It's a commitment that's paid -- in part by efficiencies in our system that are long overdue.
But in by the CBO says thirty million Americans will remain uninsured even after the -- fully implemented.
It's not making the system more efficient in fact -- lot is going to take a 127.
Million hours of paperwork.
Each year for Americans to comply -- For -- care not a chance not only will you not be able to keep your doctor you may have no doctor at all.
News this week that there are not enough doctors to -- demands of Obama care and well you might just have to settle for our nurse.
And finally the president promised fifteen billion of your taxpayer dollars will go to more green energy technology.
That would make our lives better.
And said the government spent two and a half billion dollars on companies that went bankrupt nineteen ventures find -- -- money failed.
Solyndra abound solar beacon power Ener1 -- go on -- nine you've heard the names of these companies right.
In reality the theme of the president's first administration was spending taxpayer dollars.
I don't expect the second to be far off that mark.
Picking look young and that -- how.
