If I recall correctly, the State of the Union speech has not always been a prime time TV spectacle. If I recall correctly some presidents have delivered a hand written letter to Congress, but didn’t show up in person to deliver a speech.

This is something which has evolved into a prime time speech each year, but there’s no reason it has to be that way. Considering who the current president is, I won’t be watching anyway.

There doesn’t even have to be a speech. Jefferson just sent a letter.

Cancel it due lack of interest. All the SOB is going to do is lie anyway.

The SOTU doesn’t even have to be an annual event. The Constitution states:

“He shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”

Never going to happen under this regime - their misbegotten agenda could not withstand the light of day.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Obama can give his SOTU anytime he wants; it won’t bother me. I never watch or listen anytime he’s on. If I wanted to listen to a series of lies, I could just watch CBS/CNN/NBC/ABC, but I always have better things to do.

I just hate it when George Stephanopoulus, his lusty crew, and other social disorders pre-empt my soaps in the afternoon.

i doesnt even have to be a speech. it simply needs to be reported to Congress.

i would prefer it be a state of the union report and not a pep rally.

Originally the SOTU was just a written report.

Now it has turned into a Hollywood Gala for the in party to preen and prance for the cameras and for the president to spin and pat himself on the back.

It has become worthless as a source of factual information and is a waste of time and money.

There is no requirement to even invite the POS Kenyan to speak and they shouldn’t. The requirement is to submit SOTU in writing.

Screw him GOP, grow some balls and don’t invite him.

The Constitution requires the President to send Congress a message from time to time. No mention of a speech at all, and nothing about its being an annual message, either.

There should be NO INVITATION from Congress—this year or any year. Time to start putting the Presidant back in his little box where he belongs.

At the very least, Boehner and McConnell should send the pResident the following polite note:

The Constitution [Article II, Section 3] requires that you "shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union." However, there being no requirement for you to actually appear before the chambers [whose rules and schedules we control] to give an address, we politely decline inviting you to make a speech.

Instead we would ask, in light of your recent actions, that you instead spend the evening reading the rest of Section 3, and give particular notice to the part that reads: "he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed."

It's a very short paragraph, and who knows? You might even learn something.

Love,
Mitch and John

PS. There's also Article II, Section 4, right after that one! Heh, Heh. Just Kidding, 0!

You can always turn it off....there are so many other available options that watching it is OPTIONAL! And, right now, I’d say many will NOT bother.

They’d have to storm my living room, set up a direct feed, tie me up and super glue my eyelids open, before I would watch the dirtbag.

I have Netflix.
