Two days from today on Tuesday, January 20, President Obama will deliver his annual State of the Union address to the American people.
This will be the sixth year President Obama has given a State of the Union speech, and each year, President Obama and his staff have spent weeks getting ready for the big night.
But the State of the Union was not always the way we picture it today. Article Two of the Constitution mandates that the president compose an annual State of the Union message, but it does not state that the president must deliver that message verbally. So up until President Woodrow Wilson, most presidents just submitted their State of the Union address on paper for Congress to review -- many of them didn’t give a speech at all!
In fact, what we think of today as the “State of the Union address” wasn’t even called the “State of the Union” until the middle of the 20th century. President Franklin Roosevelt was the first president to refer to his speech as a “State of the Union” address, with most presidents following suit.

Do you think for a minute that the GOP will have the balls to give him “the back” like the NYC officers did to the junior commie imposter mayor deblowjob? they will all clap and stand like seals at a circus.
Oh...gag me with a spoon!
“Don’t think, don’t question, just obey your dear leader...and it’s the republicans’ fault.”
Speech in a nutshell.
State of the Union or Lie of the Union ? Because we know everything he says is going to be completely and utter BS. This guy has never given an honest speech in his life.
Oh, I’m so waiting in anticipation. NOT
I really do wish he’d just mail it in like he does everything else!
How do like DeBlowjob blasting Romney the other day for saying he wanted to created jobs? This Mayor WANTS people to be unemployed! LOL! I cannot believe this twerp is Mayor, that city is so effed.
Art II: "He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;..."
Everything is dumbed down these days.
Unfortunately I will not be able to watch. I will be occupied changing the air in my mower tires. May just straighten out those stereo wires as well.
And we would become "The Racist Generation"....when in fact he's causing the present race problems....he and Holder...and the other "I hate whitey crowd....and that includes Michelle who is probably the biggest racist of all.
Oh goody....another lecturing, smug, cringe-worthy spectacle of rhetorical masturbation.
Too bad the GOP won’t have the same b@lls as the NYPD, and turn their backs on him. I would love to see this.
I will ONLY watch the illegitimate, bisexual, Marxist Kenyan Muslim Usurper if there’s a drinking game involved.
“Let me be clear...” - do a shot.
“My fellow Americans...” - double.
Every fifth “Me” - do a shot.
Anyone else have suggestions?
They can invent an audience but not the congress
CSPAN cameramen will require chiropractic manipulation to recover from all the angles they'd have to twist into to air the address to look like anyone really cared.
JUST STAY HOME ... JUST STAY HOME ... !
Anyone else have suggestions?
Every time he turns his head to the side and sticks his nose straight up in the air like Mussolini. That’s one shot for each side. Better get a fresh bottle of Woodford Reserve
Instead of “Hail to the Chief”, REO’s “Little Queenie” could be played.
Yes, I agree, I will be dusting under the beds............
“folks” = one shot
(You will only need one shot per reference because he will use the term a LOT)
I won’t be watching.
