or troll
 
2012-01-23 10:15:48 AM
I hope he mentions the Keystone Payroll Taxcut XL
 
2012-01-23 10:17:12 AM
Will he finish Dubya's manned mission to Mars? Or will he simply take this time to publicly biatchslap the Supreme Court again?
 
2012-01-23 10:18:14 AM
I'd love it if he'd just say "Newt Gingrich? Really?" then collapse into the podium giggling uncontrollably.
 
2012-01-23 10:19:22 AM
Docudrama?
 
2012-01-23 10:20:25 AM
I hope this is the year the President goes all Sadaam and starts having people arrested on the spot with cameras rolling.

Only a matter of time anyway, at least it will be a president I can tolerate.

How he doesn't find himself giggling uncontrollably from or suicidally depressed by the prospect of Newt Gingrich being taken seriously as a candidate for president is a mystery to me.

Fantasy. Just like the rest of them.

Hey man, he's a historian.

I'm personally looking forward to Herman Cain's Tea Party rebuttal.
 
2012-01-23 10:22:41 AM
Maybe he will announce that Chris Dodd is being investigated for trying to bribe public officials.
 
2012-01-23 10:24:14 AM
I think it gets listed as a repeat.

/Growth is slower than expected, but we are still growing.
//Troops still in harms way, but progress is being made.
///Mustard still of lesser "French's Yellow" variety, but fresh arugula is available.
 
2012-01-23 10:24:39 AM
it'll be the state of the campaign speech.

He should invite everyone out for milk and cookies afterwords.

If Obama wins I hear they will be doubling the arugula ration.

"And that's rebuilding an economy where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded -- and an America where everybody gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everybody plays by the same set of rules."

Wait, I think I have heard this one before.

or maybe the State of the Union is a Constitutional Requirement?

Televising it is not in the Constitution, though. Shrug.

Spicy mustard on a burger!

Much better off than we were when Bush II left office but not as good as when Clinton left office. Bush set us back decades.

/one more oil pipe line, to help Boner get rich, isn't going to mean a pinch of shiat to the overall economy
//especially since all the finished product is being exported
///The US is the number one exporter of, gas, diesel, jet fuel, etc.

Actually, there's nothing that says the president has to show up to deliver it. Jefferson would simply write a report once a year and send it to be read into the Congressional record.

On the West Wing, they pointed out that the president could buy the House a subscription to the Washington Post and that would satisfy the constitutional requirement to advise them about the "state of the union".

Comedy. Subtitle it: Barrack Hussein Obama trolls the nation for another year.
 
2012-01-23 10:35:20 AM
Republicans are looking to finish the 8 years of economic terrorism they started with Bush.

/Vote Republican

The Republican debates have provided plenty of comedy and horror. Personally, I'm hoping for some fantasy and sci-fi from the President.

Neither is a speech required. Before Woodrow Wilson every president just sent a letter.

The current House would only accept a subscription to a NewsCorp paper.

Lost Thought 00: Will he finish Dubya's manned mission to Mars? Or will he simply take this time to publicly biatchslap the Supreme Court again?

There is always a weird "reach-for-the-stars" type proposal in every State of the Union: Cure cancer, end poverty, get drugs out of pro-sports, etc. It's like a palate cleanser between various BS proposals.

Dude, that's a comedy troll. Try reading his posts in Colbert's voice.
 
2012-01-23 10:38:01 AM
Any President that asked the audience to hold their applause until the end would earn my unwavering respect and support. F*ck, that's annoying.

I'm more scared of what n0bama will do once he stops trolling. No wallet will be safe from his grubby hands and its only a matter of time until he starts officially funding Palestinian terrorism.

I was sort of looking forward to the House not inviting the President to give the address.

I'll be sober during the SOTU for the first time in at least 10 years. I'm scared.

well, if anyone uses this criticism, you could always accuse them of racism. just slap that race card down on the table.

I haven't watched the SotU in a long time because of this. The transcripts are usually good reading the next day.

It's a shame he didn't live long enough to finish the prequel trilogy. Even deep in dementia, he could have done a better job.

"Members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, ladies and gentlemen in the gallery, and my fellow Americans watching at home:

The state of our union is strong, despite much of your efforts to fark it all up. Specifically, I'm looking at Scalia, Thomas (you gonna recuse yourself from the PPACA case which your wife has gotten rich off lobbying for, you unethical douchetowel?), Boehner, McConnell (and your little friends), Eric Cantor (was that a moment of clarity during the SOPA/PIPA thing?), Paul Ryan, you whackadoos in Virginia (though you're not federal, you crazy little laboratory of democracy, you)...Christ, when Rand Paul looks like an elder statesman next to most of the Congressional Republicans, something is very wrong.

Oh, and Lamar Smith gets a special shout-out for almost breaking the internet last week. See you in November, farkstains."

You should keep a tally of the number of people that take you seriously.

And display it prominently in your profile.
