Obama will indeed give a campaign speech indelicately tarted up to sound like a policy address. He will refer to himself in the first person at least 30 times, and perhaps many more than that.
He will pretend to take a lofty, above-the-battle stance by urging unnamed "others" in Congress to put country above "partisanship", by which we will know he means for Republicans and Tea Party members to sacrifice their principles to his demands.
He will call for "shared sacrifice", by which we will know he means higher taxes on those already paying the lion's share of them.
He will speak of making "investments" in America to help those he refers to as "the middle class and working families", by which we will understand him to mean new government programs and spending on make-work jobs for unionized trades.
He will aver (yet again) how hard he is working for "us" and complain (yet again) how difficult is his job getting the country out of the metaphorical ditch that "they" metaphorically drove us into, and how he could succeed if only "they" stopped hampering his efforts.
And Obama will do all of the above while looking left, looking right, nose in the air, eyes slightly closed but just wide enough to follow the words crawling on his magic screens. Democrats will stand and cheer. Republicans will grimace and sit on their hands.
So, tell me why any of us really need to watch the same crap we've been watching for three years now?
must we yet again be exposed to Republicans politely sitting there, being insulted and derided, even occasionally applauding the rhetoric of this empty suit, out of “respect”?
I wish “flu” wuld strike the GOP lawmakers about an hour before this dogless pony show

People do not like to hear him whine about his problems while they are hurting.
