Tax hikes, free college, scolding Congress....

I can't wait.

Hahhahahahahah! Because you are one of the uber rich Obama wants to tax. 😛 😮 😛

Exactly.
Obama is always willing to work with The Congress as long as they do what he wants.

Hopefully the speech will be more a comedy instead of the usual tragedy.

Been a political junkie my entire adult life. Don't care who the POTUS is and what party he comes from. The SOTU is about the single most painful thing a human can endure, up there with tooth extraction sans numbing and bathing the cat.

I'm sure the major focus of the speech will be on the national debt doubling from $9 to $18 Trillion in six years on his watch and the need for fiscal restraint. Secondary point will be underlining the need to address the radical Islamist situation. Those are sure to be at the top of the list.

And reading Alloak's and Muleman's ill informed posts.

Maybe (like the France demonstration) he'll decide that it doesn't need his personal attention?

I know it doesn't need my attention. I can't stand the clapping or faux outrage. I think it is the most disgusting display in all of American politics.

An ambassador from Saudi Arabia marched in that procession. Talk about ironic comedy gold.

So much is appearance; if you are golfing and you get bad news (previous issue I can't remember which) you stop even though in reality it changes nothing. Current administration is not good at grasping that point. Maybe James Taylor can bring his guitar tonight and sing "Handy Man"

Haha! That's great! I'm glad you are focused on the world affairs that matter the most.

Which President golfed the most?

Has any President golfed more than Boehner?

Do you really think Obama's golf game has gotten in the way of his job? I mean... really?

I have to watch the paint peel off my wall. Too busy.

Naturally you entirely missed his point.

But I'm awed by your brilliance.

Well, he did say that he has to watch the paint peel off his wall. That would explain much of the intellectual stimulation...not to mention the added effect of inhaling paint fumes.

They are comedy gold, aren't they?

My point was about perception; Obama has admitted to not being very good at that issue re: playing the politics of perception in a crisis. I said it is meaningless to his performance; poor for his image.

I used to have a manager who, like a broken record, said, "perception is reality."

She got fired.

As a progressive I'm incensed that Obama isn't doing more with the power that he has to fulfill his campaign promises to the middle and lower classes.

But then I wonder about the whole perception argument when Congress is generally hated and perceived as a bunch of layabouts living off the taxpayers' dime yet are re-elected time and time again.

I think the entire State of the Union drama is meaningless to the vast majority of America.

"bathing the cat".

😛

I guess I am in fact warped. I can't stop laughing at that

Tax hikes, free college, scolding Congress....

Illegal amnesty executive order issuing, job-killing pipeline bashing, cuba-stroking , agenda.

You mean like continuing to read a children story in a classroom while hijacked planes are flying into buildings?

Aw cmon; first everyone gives him hell for not being able to read; then they give him hell for reading!!!!

but seriously yes; I am non partisan on these matters

i am going to watch. I would like to see

1) Obama acknowledge a republican controlled house and senate

2) What he intends to course correct on Obamacare and Keystone

3) Any big ideas on improving infrastructure or restarting the space program for example.

4) Any action plans for improving the economy and the job situation

Instead, I think this speech will be all about class warfare, income inequality, minimum wage, illegal amnesty, and free college tuition.

1. Why? Is that really necessary?

2. He won't change his stance on either item. And he shouldn't.

3. The GOP led Congress has no intention of passing any bills for that.

4. The economy has greatly improved and unemployment is at its lowest since he took office, much to the chagrin of the Republican Party.

Really? Who falls for his BS and who doesn't? He belongs on a used car lot.

I've been reading that, because of the falling price of oil, the Keystone Pipeline is a non-starter. The cost of a barrel of oil has to be over $70 for the construction to make sense.

Of course Americans won't make any money off the pipeline no matter how much oil costs.

Do you expect Oil to stay under $70/bbl indefinitely?
