President to Seek to Use State of the Union Address to Shift Souring View of Leadership

President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night will seek to shift the public's souring view of his leadership, a challenge the White House sees as critical to shaping the nation's policy direction over the next three years.

Mr. Obama will emphasize his intention to use unilateral presidential authority—bypassing Congress when necessary—to an extent not seen in his previous State of the Union speeches, White House officials said.

Two things...cult of personality “clean”, “articulate”, “cool”, etc. A dope smoking, crap for brains student who only “organized”. What’s a stolen SSN when you have 10’s of millions of illegals using stolen ones as well? Sheesh, don’t be so serious. It’s not that big of a deal. /s

Second, Race card...all you have to do is look at the past few years to see how often this is either dropped by him or on his behalf by the complicit media and other politicians.

Conditioning through “diversity”, “inclusion” and political correctness...he is a walking example of why I absolutely loathe any and I do mean any who promote that garbage...

So here we have a leader with collapsing support and plummeting poll numbers, threatening to ramp-up his use of executive authority and begin ruling even more like a dictator.

Meanwhile his opposition party sits idly by and lets him, mainly because their control lever is the power of the purse, and they living in quaking mortal fear of “shutting down the government”.

Historically unprecedented. No idea how it will work out, but future historians will be fascinated.

That would require a certain amount of testosterone in congress, as well as a minimum number of moderately patriotic Senators, which we are a long way from. The required number is two thirds of the Senate to convict the traitorous bastard.

Sorry, Sparky. I won't be following ANY of your dictatorial pronouncements. If you and your minions plan on killing me over my refusal, pack a f***** lunch.

Because he is black. Because he is a dim. Because idiots, 52-54% of the stupid nation voted for him, and would again, to get and keep free stuff. Because there is no one in the RINO party with a set to stop him. Because we have a media that is in his pocket. Hey, can I stop now, my fingers are starting to hurt and this list is long?

Ok, I am marking them, because I don’t think any of them will see a day in prison. There’s no one who will prosecute them.

Not seen in ANY SOTU speech.

No one wants to listen to this commie's rabble-rousing. But I may tune into this one. It could mark the official end of the Republic.

Since no one in any position too is interested in stopping him, I guess Obama can do this.

He can do this.

And we can, en-masse, ignore his insane rantings.

I WILL NOT COMPLY.

The patriots should all get up & walk out when he says that.

If they do, the cameras will never show it. Instead, they'll show McCrazy smiling, sitting next to his good-friend-across-the-aisle Schumer, Boehner gently clapping, and the Donks enthusiastically leaping to their feet to cheer in support.

As 0bama points out over and over, there is no reason to follow any rules.

The media will obey their Dear Reader, marching in lock step and NEVER criticizing the Clown for NOT COMPROMISING with Republicans.

So, the SOTU speech FINALLY makes his dictatorship official.

If the Pubs had any balls, they’d walk out when he starts insulting Congress, telling them he’ll govern without them. And then withdraw all spending authority for a few pet agencies like the EPA.

Oh, yeah, Right. IF they had any balls ...
