Tom DeLay: Obama's 'Arrogant' State Of The Union Proves He Despises America

Former House GOP leader Tom DeLay says he didn’t like President Obama’s State of the Union address one bit, telling Steve Malzberg of Newsmax yesterday that President Obama proved himself to be an “arrogant” leader who shows his “disdain” and “contempt for the American people.”

“A referee should’ve thrown a flag for taunting,” he said. “It was the most unbelievable performance I’ve ever seen.”

Later, DeLay claimed Obama “eviscerated the Constitution over and over again” by calling for universal child care and community college access and an increase in the minimum wage, which DeLay said are all “totally unconstitutional.”

“Even if the American people can’t articulate it, they know this is wrong and they know that it is going to destroy this country,” DeLay said, before noting that the people who want what Malzberg called “free this and free that” ultimately “vote Democrat anyway, most of them.”

he beat that rap. Wonder what he's working on now? Or is he living off his spoils.

In my book, Delay's opinions on our POTUS are meaningless. He's still a snake and couldn't rank high enough to shine Obama's shoes.

8. Irrelevant Red versus Blue Theater. The SOTU was corporate theater, too.

Corporatists in both parties back the predatory agenda of TPP, endless war for profit, and police state.

Nothing is more important than getting corporate predators out of both parties and corporate money and power out of our elections.

to what Tom DeLay has to say because he is such an upstanding citizen.

Some people have no shame and zero morality.

state in order to prevent a vote on his outrageous redistricting which is totally oblivious to zigzag lines so he could get republicans elected in Texas. Obama was giving the SOTU speech, the dirty dog Delay abused his position in ordering the Homeland Security to locate these people. He has some kind of nerve, don't doubt he will try to run for President next.

Because no working American believes that having your tax dollar and the GDP of the county you helped create go for things that help you instead of lump sum subsidies for big oil is arrogant.
