***THE OFFICIAL STATE OF THE UNINFORMED SILLINESS THREAD***

In a surprise last minute announcement, the White House has revealed that President Obama will live tweet his own State of the Union address before Congress Tuesday night. Spokesman Josh Earnest confirmed that the president will have a smartphone with him at the podium in the House chamber so he can make real time comments on Twitter as he delivers his nationally televised speech.

“The President feels that providing a credible, instant reaction to his words via social media will mean increased message awareness with millennial and tech-savvy consumers,” said Earnest. “And who better to provide that reaction than the President himself.”

Using the hashtag #POTUSLive, the President will use pauses during applause in the speech to tweet clarifications of policy statements, comment on the facial expressions of audience members, and share selfies of himself with House Speaker John Boehner and Vice-President Joe Biden.

White House Mouthpiece Dan Pfieffer just used the term:

“THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW!”

on CNN, to describe what Obama wants.
OMFG....
These people just never stop with the rhetoric-for-the-braindead.

How many people will Biden point at?


And how many times will Boehner cry?

“”the president will have a smartphone with him at the podium in the House chamber so he can make real time comments on Twitter as he delivers his nationally televised speech””

That’s about as much interest as he’s shown in acting as president of this country. Pretend that you’re serious and people will pretend they are interested in what you have to say. I have no interest in anything the jerk does.

Make room for “my first priority”

He’s had so many of those in 6 years that he just decided to scrap the whole idea of priorities. Besides none of them were successful anyway.

She should run for President. What are they going to do, say she has no experience?

Don't need to watch Dumbo Ears tonight. I saw the state f the union on my way home this afternoon.

Sears was empty, Walmart was almost empty, Goodwill and the Salvation Army store were full

Not watching either, fear of being droned to death by a teleprompter.

Obviously a joke. He can barely manage eye contact with two TOTUSes. He’s going to tweet during the recorded applause intervals, too?

He didn't actually manage his twitter scampaign in 2008, why would he suddenly do it now?
