He needs to go back to the Roman columns...or Grecian, whatever they were. People swooned over him then...

I need to rearrange my sock drawer. I may do that instead of listening to Obama. Its going to be an hour of liberal pablum coming out of his mouth.

As to the future, if Hillary is elected, she will cement his liberal legacy in place. Our only hope is if a Republican is the next president and can undo some of what Obama has done.

I really don’t want to listen to an hour of how wonderful liberalism is.

Define his presidency?

Does that mean we all get free toilet paper?

It's not just that obama will define his reign as the greatest in American (if not, world) history (that's to be expected), it's that senators and congressmen on both sides of the aisle will applaud and shout and rejoice (also to be expected) that will be difficult to stomach.

I don’t know why anyone would, but if you happen to have a close-up picture of an anal sphincter, that would pretty much sum up the obama (mis-)administration sans words.

I am with you. I can no longer stand listening to him speak.

It will be interesting to see how many tune in to listen to the drivel.

Used to be that the State of the Union address was a straight forward inventory accounting and many times without a speech. Now it is nothing but a propaganda opportunity.
