Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has repeatedly said he isn't set on just implementing his own agenda -- if other people have ideas, he wants to hear them. In fact, the day after the 2014 elections when Republicans expanded their majority in the House and took control of the Senate, the president said, "I am very eager to hear Republican ideas for what they think we can do together over the next couple of years." But when it comes to the Republican response to his Tuesday State of the Union address, however, the president doesn't seem too interested in the American public hearing those Republican ideas.
Beginning with an email from Joe Biden last Friday night, the Obama administration is doing what it can to encourage viewers to eschew the traditional network broadcasts of the State of the Union and the subsequent response (this year from the new Iowa senator, Joni Ernst,) and instead view the president's speech online on the White House website. To hear the vice president tell it, watching the speech on WhiteHouse.gov is even better than hearing it on the floor of the House because online viewers get an "enhanced" speech.

I’m ignoring the White House.
I’m going to be watching basketball.
She hasn’t even found out where the Senate washroom is yet and she already has them running scared! LOL
Me too. The only past of the SOTU goat rope that I want to see or hear is Ernst’s response to the lyin’ king.
Obama cheats
the GOP has deflated balls
and that’s the state of the union
I have something else very important to do during that time. I haven’t figured out just what it is as yet but I know it will be more important than watching/listening to that jerk. It could be as simple as cleaning out email files.
The problem is Ernst will have a hard time finding anything to castrate in the White Hut.
I hope Joni throws pig nuts at SantaBama.
I will pass on the residents speach but will watch the responce.....
Of course, 90%+ of America won’t watch either, whether its on the Internet or on TV, so this really doesn’t matter.
I have to find something less trivial than an Obama speech so I'm going to a bar to play some trivia.
State of the Union Address: The cure for insomnia.
The Lyin’ King watches over the jungle tonight aweemaway-aweemaway-aweemaway...
Obie Won, you lie!
I doubt that more than 10% of the population will watch either the speech or the response. So who really care what the dear leader does with regards to it?
How about if I ignore the State of the Union and king o.
Amazing what they come up with to keep the illusion of 2 parties alive.
Because, as citizens, every one of us ought to be as informed as we possibly can about the actions our government takes. That’s exactly what this “enhanced” speech does.
ROFLOL!
