Why the Middle East Won’t Feature in Obama’s Speech
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2044237,00.html?xid=rss-nation-yahoo
It’s a safe bet that the Middle East will get short shrift in President Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday. That’s because the speech typically focuses on an Administration’s achievements and on its plans to meet challenges going forward, and the reality is that there’s little in the way of achievements or plans to speak of in relation to the troubled region. In fact, Washington’s position is steadily declining in a number of Middle East flash points, and there’s little the Administration appears able to do about it.
Can’t watch tonight. I’ll be busy breathing.
I have a sock drawer to sort..and files to organize . I’ll read your comments..LOL
Cant bear to watch. Will follow the thread. Will be watching Paul Ryan though!
Together We Thrive! /s
Kristinn, thanks for the thread. It will be interesting to read it later.
I definitely will not watch Obama. I’m thinking of watching Paul Ryan and Michele Bachman. I believe CNN will carry her speech.
Buckeyes-Purdue game on at 9PM tonight so I’ll watch that.
I have a sneaking suspicion this ridiculous bipartisan seatmate concept has one purpose: to make Obama look like he has support across the board when the audience is shown clapping, standing, etc, it won’t be split with Ds over here and Rs over there NOT clapping.
It’ll look to the average person, as the camera pans across the room, like everyone’s on board with Obama’s agenda and “inspiring” words.
Shame on the foolish, stupid GOP members for agreeing to this set-up.
The NY and Chicago Socialist/communist organs trained this community organizer well.
It will keep me from even THINKING about watching.....
(FR comments are ever so much more enlightening :)
Never before has a State of the Union address drawn such attention for such an absurd notion. The capitol is atwitter over who will sit with whom on their first official Congressperson-to-Congressperson dates. What should I wear, will I clash with what he/she is wearing? Who will drive? Is it okay for me to wear cologne/perfume? Should I place my arm in his/hers or should we just hold hands and sing “Kumbayah?” So many questions for such an expected giddy whirlwind of a night! And why all of this excitement? For the first time in four years the Republicans have control of one of our Congressional houses--so the Marxists (aka “former Democrats”) have pulled out one of the myriad weapons from their still-growing arsenal.
Using the Tucson shootings--which had nothing whatsoever to do with politics except that the shooter’s two favorite books are the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf (decidedly not conservative readings) as their faux raison d’état, the Marxist party has called for “civility” and strongly encouraged the two political parties to sit together at tonight’s State of the Union address. Remember that one of the Marxist Party’s mottos is the Saul Alinsky inspired and Rahm Emmanuel spoken: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
Embarrassing to all of us who elected them, many Republicans--as if hearing the pipes calling from their master in Hamelin--almost immediately agreed to do the bidding of the Marxist Party. The obvious problem, of course, is that US Marxist Party dear leader Obama will deliver a political speech to which the Marxists will jump to their feet--multiple times--in wild applause. The Republicans--sitting next to them--will literally be overshadowed and “over-shouted.”
Question: Is there something in the Washington D.C. water that immediately emasculates males--but, only Republican men?

I won’t be home. Where can the speech be found online? I would like to watch, just to understand what the responses will be responding to.
Barry only hopes to be as good as this guy...
