“President Obama’s foot remains where it has been since the day he entered the Oval Office, on the gas pedal.  He’s not braking for anyone or anything.  All this pre-SOTU spin from Obama’s whisperers, gobbled up by the Obama-hungry media, was always nonsense.  Obama has no intention of touching entitlements in any significant way, period.  Why would he tamper with the New Deal and Great Society when he considers them a good start but insufficiently bold to advance his statist beliefs?  Obama has no intention of honestly working with Republicans on health care, cap-and-trade, etc.  These are hallmarks of his transformative agenda.  They define him and his presidency.  His bureaucracy is working overtime to institute them.”

– Mark Levin, in response to the State of the Union speech.
