Coming soon: The State of the Union

[Wry Catcher]

How far have we fallen and in just one year:


Thank you very much. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of the 104th Congress, distinguished guests, my fellow Americans all across our land: Let me begin tonight by saying to our men and women in uniform around the world and especially those helping peace take root in Bosnia and to their families, I thank you. America is very, very proud of you.

My duty tonight is to report on the state of the Union, not the state of our Government but of our American community, and to set forth our responsibilities, in the words of our Founders, to form a more perfect Union.

The state of the Union is strong. Our economy is the healthiest it has been in three decades. We have the lowest combined rates of unemployment and inflation in 27 years. We have completed—created nearly 8 million new jobs, over a million of them in basic industries like construction and automobiles. America is selling more cars than Japan for the first time since the 1970's. And for 3 years in a row, we have had a record number of new businesses started in our country.

Our leadership in the world is also strong, bringing hope for new peace. And perhaps most important, we are gaining ground in restoring our fundamental values. The crime rate, the welfare and food stamp rolls, the poverty rate, and the teen pregnancy rate are all down. And as they go down, prospects for America's future go up.

I like the SOTU address he gave a year earlier, where he said this:

"All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace... We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it."

A Yuge majority of American Hookers reply.

No thanks, I'll pass.

It'll just be another opportunity for trump lovers to watch their bumbling orange perv beat off in public, again, for an hour-and-a-half.

How many times will he whine about Obama and Clinton?

 

[Carl in Michigan]

How many times will he whine about Obama and Clinton?

Maybe as often as Obama blamed Bush for Obama's prolonged depression?

 

[August West]

How many times will he whine about Obama and Clinton?

Maybe as often as Obama blamed Bush for Obama's prolonged depression?

I don`t recall him ever doing that but feel free to refresh my memory with a link or two. You wouldn`t be lying I`m sure.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

"I don't recall" is a common affliction with the left. Happy to help you start your recovery.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Do you ever wonder why (of course not, curiosity is a characteristic alien to the current iteration of conservative)?

Q. Why haven't the Republican's, when in the leadership of both the H.of Rep. and the Senate, pass comprehensive immigration reform?

A. Don't watch their lips, watch their feet!

If he goes off script ... it could be very funny. At least Obama, accused for reading off the teleprompter and being mocked for it, could read what was in front of him. Trump cannot help but ad lib, and contradict what his handlers told him to say.

Q. Why did the Obama Haters mock his use of the teleprompter, and not mock Trump's use of the teleprompter.

A. Hypocrisy. Without it, the Trump supporters would be struck dumb.

 

[Mac1958]

It was ugly when the right wingers went after Michelle, and this is ugly now.

Amazing how similar the two ugly ends of the spectrum can be.

 

[Wry Catcher]

For those who wonder - well, that does imply the curious - the D. Response to the SOTU will be the Grandson of RFK and the Great Nephew of JFK. Let's hope he has their wit and wisdom and the good humor of them and others who are comfortable in their own skin.

Have you read IKE's Farewell Address?

Consider it, and see it it meets the leadership of our current POTUS:

Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation

Also, I could post GWB's comments from his State of the Union where he spoke about our dependence on oil and the use of Switch (sic?) Grass.

Its gonna be a Trump snooze fest.......him talking on and on and on about all this great shit he's done.....boring!!

It's a SOTU. What do you want, marching bands and dancing girls? He doesn't give the speech to entertain.

Yea, Obama handed Trump a terrible economy. Not like the one he was given.
