Tucker Carlson Spars With Alan Colmes Over State Of The Union Address

Appearing on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom, The Dally Caller‘s Tucker Carlson argued with Alan Colmes about President Obama’s State of the Union address, with Carlson blasting it for many of its pro-government themes.

“It was an entirely political speech, right?” Carlson exclaimed. “It bore no resemblance to the Obama Administration we watched for the last three years. Where was mention of healthcare? Where was explanation of all the great things the president’s health care law has done? Wasn’t that supposed to change America forever?”

“He mentioned health care!” interjected Colmes.

“Like parenthetically!” Carlson replied. “This was a speech designed to sound moderate but at its core, if you read it carefully he is making the case you are poor because some people are rich. right? That this small group of affluent people are keeping the rest of the country down. Even Bill Clinton wouldn’t have said that because he didn’t believe it. This is actually not in keeping with the moderate Democrat position at all. It is pretty left-wing position!”

Despite Carlson’s pleas, Colmes continued to heap praise on President Obama‘s speech, calling it “forward-looking.”
