He may set a personal best for lying tomorrow.
What a disaster.

My guess is most domestic issues will be fulltard blame game and the rest will be a job interview for the UN secretary job.
I wonder if he'll talk about $20.

Not my President .... He got nothing positive to say for the past 6 years and this will be a blame, blame, lie, lie and the theme "inequality"
yo yo Obama equality is earn not given, respect is earn not demanded, honor is achieved not assumed, achievement is work not entitlements, prided is learned not handouts, confident is education not attitude, America is built on the Consitution not executive orders .... Who's more presidential now ...

From the reports I've read, it is going to be a hard left speech to drum up support from his rapidly shrinking base....including a long talk about income inequality (when was this ever an issue? If I make $100,000/year and my boss makes $1,000,000...who cares, I made $100,000), economic issues that he's largely ignored for the past 6 years, and social issues that no one cares about anymore (even giving a shout out to Jason Collins, a lousy basketball player that lied to and cheated on his long time girlfriend/fiancee and has already had his 15 minutes of fame, although he deserved 15 seconds). Maybe he'll even bring up Richard Sherman. Who knows?

If he had a son, would he now look like Richard Sherman....or would be be Jason Collins????
Either way, it will be long on rhetoric and short on realistic discussion on where he will lead this country.

I'd have to check myself into the Betty Ford clinic afterwards. 'Let ME clear about X, I will not tolerate X'
A client (well, the CEO of the client) mentioned this to me a few years ago. It is amazing how much he uses the singular in his speeches, and it is offputting to many.

There was a discussion on 'The Five' about this last night......it was hysterical!
However, I would be in an alcoholic coma if I played.

Didn't watch last year and not sure I will this year (although I'm interested to see the rebuttals). I mean, does anyone really expect to hear anything new from the perpetual campaigner?
He's having trouble even maintaining support and building coalitions among Democrats. He's the most incapable (or maybe just detached) leader I've seen as POTUS in my lifetime.

The min wage hike on federal contracts is really more of a stunt or empty gesture. The impact of that is completely immaterial, but the intent is to trick the stupid into thinking Obama cares and is taking meaningful action.

I think Obama should really toot his horn about the record cold winter, increased polar ice....finally making good on his promise to reverse global warming and lower the seas.

Yeah, there's college basketball on tonight. If I want to see what the talking points are, I'll skim a news article tomorrow. And if I want to see idiots babble about said talking points, I'll come back to this thread before I go to bed tonight.

No one in their right mind would watch this "jackass" from wherever the hell he is from.
This is a failed and flailing president attempting to save his legacy, whatever the hell that might be.
When you put a radical activist in the White House, you get what we have ----- disaster.

His lack of leadership ability is only surpassed by his lack of effort. The only thing he appears passionate about is hearing cheers as he makes another tiresome and boorish class warfare rant.
I fully expect Obama to significantly break from post-POTUS decorum, especially if he feels the legacy he imagines having created is under threat. I'm actually looking forward to the lulz when he constantly tries to share the stage and steal the spotlight from the sitting POTUS. Hillary probably wouldn't tolerate that, but a Repub might be helpless to rebuke him.

Is the game where you pay $20 on tonight? Maybe we should ask CCdeadbeat?

Call it arrogance or miscalculation...He, Pelosi and Reid took a crap on bipartisanship because they didn't think they'd have to deal with Republicans for at least 8+ years. But even now it's pretty evident that's just not in their DNA.

I'll be participating in the SOTU drinking game. It involves ignoring the SOTU address completely and getting drunj. Because fuck Washington.
