The concept of the word “goal” has been perverted ever since “goal” was made into a synonym for “quota.” Leave to the Affirmative Action president to come up with the usage in this speech.

Many commentators have pointed out that the modern State of the Union is in fairly obvious mimicry of the Speech from the Throne

To be fair to Obama, this trend has been ongoing for decades.

The SOTU should be our employee reporting to us on where we are, not our Sovereign deigning to outline his plans for our future.

Yuck.

I have heard that historically the average life span of a republic is about 250 years. Guess we’re on the downside if the situation continues as is.

Strange how the monarchical urge persists even in a republic two-and-a-third centuries old.

Our Republic may be two and a third centuries old, but that's moot.

He won't understand because he ain't from 'round here.
