State of the Union: Why Bother?
Red State ^ | 01/27/2014 | Eric Erickson

Posted on 01/27/2014 2:52:07 PM PST by SeekAndFind

I did not watch the Golden Globes this year. I did not watch the Grammys. I am not sure if I will watch the State of the Union address.

Why bother?

A thin skinned amateur who has been in office six years and still can’t grasp how to do his job will stand before an even more thin skinned Parliament of Whores and tell them he does not need them, while knowing he really does need them, while none of them truly want to be with each other, and all have lawyers ready to go bow before the black robed masters who’ll sit stone faced at the front of room knowing they really rule the joint.

My only hope is that the Republicans grow a pair and start laughing uncontrollably when the President begins touting Obamacare, which you know he will do and which you know they will not. Paging Steve Stockman — here’s your moment.

The State of the Union has become a pointless bit of laundry list stagecrap where everyone in D.C. gets to pretend they like each other and together will make magic before leaking how they hate each other and won’t get anything done worthwhile.

This evil personage of a president usurper, resident of the White Hut, will never state the truth of the State of the Union. He is a liar. He is of foreign birth. He is against everything this country stands for and is (before he came along). It is far past time for him to go. And this POS needs to take his media cronies with him when he goes. To Hell with them all...

I would rather have a root canal than watch the State of the Union or any of the three replies.
