I am probably only going to be able to hang in here for only part of this speech as I have things to do tonight. However I will try to stay on top of the comments so all of you can share and discuss your impressions.
I actually think this speech is going to be rather incredible, as this President is clearly determined to go out with a bang and not a whimper.
Here is a clip of the interview that the President did this morning on the Today Show concerning the speech.
CNN thinks that Obama is paving the way for another Clinton Presidency.
There will be an empty seat in the First Lady's box in remembrance of the victims of gun violence.
Kentucky county clerk, Kim Davis, will be there for some odd reason.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will be giving the conservative rebuttal to the SOTU so that ought to be good for a laugh or two.
As always I will be drunkenly tweeting my responses which can be seen here.
My personal hope is that at about the halfway point Obama just rips off his tie, grabs onto the podium, and just goes off on a expletive riddled rant about the obstructionism and dirty tricks used by the Republicans during the last seven years that leaves them all stunned and slack jawed.
I doubt that will happen, but still a boy's got to dream.
State of the Union Open Thread.
