keepthefaith Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 So Obama's people says this SOTU address will be different. That he won't be listing a policy agenda. Does that mean he will enumerate the large issues facing our country with facts so that both citizens and potential next Presidents can get handle on the bag of crap he will be leaving behind?

B-Man Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 JAMES BOVARD: First Lady’s box should be empty at State of the Union speech: Saving seats for the dead would require a lot more room for victims of Obama’s policies. While trumpeting the private death toll from guns, Obama on Tuesday night will likely ignore the 986 people killed by police in the United States last year according to The Washington Post’s database. Many police departments are aggressive — if not reckless — in part because the Justice Department always provides cover for them at the Supreme Court. Obama’s “Justice Department has supported police officers every time an excessive-force case has made its way” to a Supreme Court hearing, The New York Times noted last year. Attorney General Loretta Lynch recently said that federally-funded police agencies should not even be required to report the number of civilians they kill. To add a Euro flair to the evening, Obama could drape tri-color flags on a few empty seats to commemorate the 30 French medical staff, patients, and others slain last Oct. 3 when an American AC-130 gunship blasted their well-known hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. The U.S. military revised its story several times but admitted in November that the carnage was the result of “avoidable … human error.” Regrettably, that bureaucratic phrase lacks the power to resurrect victims. No plans have been announced to designate a seat for Brian Terry, the U.S. Border Patrol agent killed in 2010. Guns found at the scene of Terry’s killing were linked to the Fast and Furious gunwalking operation masterminded by the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agency. At least 150 Mexicans were also killed by guns illegally sent south of the border with ATF approval. The House of Representatives voted to hold then-attorney general Eric Holder in contempt for refusing to disclose Fast and Furious details, but Obama is not expected to dwell on this topic in his State of the Union address. . . . Four seats could be left vacant for the Americans killed in the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya — U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. But any such recognition would rankle the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, who has worked tirelessly to sweep those corpses under the rug. It would also be appropriate to include a hat tip to the hundreds, likely thousands, of Libyans who have been killed in the civil war unleashed after the Obama administration bombed Libya to topple its ruler, Moammar Gadhafi. Perhaps the GOP should invite a member of the Nobel Peace Prize committee as their guest. . . . http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/223762/ No word if State of the Union will feature empty chairs for climate change, Clock Kid http://twitchy.com/2016/01/11/no-word-if-state-of-the-union-will-feature-empty-chairs-for-climate-change-clock-kid/ .

IDBillzFan Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The most ridiculous thing about this SOTU, based on released transcripts, is that the one president who has done more than anyone to create embarrassing levels of political divisiveness plans to tell everyone that the only way forward is to stop with the political divisiveness. Even you SoProgs have to be embarrassed by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) My favorite part of every SOTU is that SCOTUS and Joint Chiefs never clap. A big message there, always worth seeing. "I'm just here so I don't get fined." -- Paul Ryan. I think Paul Ryan’s face speaks for all of us. Kind of a “sighhhhh be polite” look. Full text of the 2016 SoTU This format feels antiquated. Why not release #sotu text to the public and just invite members over to take selfies with @POTUS. "Red tape needs to be cut" ........................................Um, Mr. President Edited January 13, 2016 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc The president's only required to report the state of the union annually to Congress. Used to be, he just sent a letter. I think it was Woodrow Wilson that turned it into a circus.

Odd. And this we the people ****. Cmon bro. Here is the 4th and most important thing. Security for family, rising standard of living, peace for kids, but it'll only happen if we work together (#blacklivesmatter). Fix politics. Don't agree on it all, etc...

B-Man Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Hugh Hewitt @hughhewitt 6m6 minutes ago "It's the lesson of Vietnam. It is the lesson of Iraq. And we should have learned it by now" POTUS does the big reveal. That's it, the core. The Vietnam/Iraq analogy is the most revealing thing he has said in 7 years. C'mon speechwriters, don't talk about what Iran is doing "as we speak" ............if you are not going to mention they're holding American sailors. Obama spent all last week pushing gun control. He gave it one sentence fragment in his final State of the Union..............lol You should never claim you’re going to keep remarks short unless you are .
