The first lady of the United States will be sitting with a Syrian refugee at this week's State of the Union Address. The refugee's name is Refaai Hamo.
"Growing up in Syria, Refaai Hamo lived what seemed to be the kind of life associated with the American Dream - the son of a farmer and housewife, he worked construction at night to pay his way through college on his way to a PhD, married his college sweetheart and built a family together. This life and happiness changed forever when a Syrian government anti-personnel missile tore through the complex Refaai designed and where his family lived; in total seven of his family members died, including his wife and one daughter," the White House explains in an announcement.(snip)
Hamo will be joined in the first lady's box by the plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges, the successful same-sex marriage Supreme Court case. Veterans, a drug reform advocate, the CEO of Microsoft, a criminal justice reform advocate, among others, will also be up there.

A picture of that, properly rendered, would be a good campaign poster for Trump in the election.
Sudden jihad on live TV.

I’m guessing it will NOT be from one of the Christian groups being murdered...
Here’s the roster of GUESTS for the speech - AHEM - lecture!There’s certainly a bunch of them. If he introduces EACH and EVERY one of them, he won’t have time to SPEECHAFIE! SUPER! Doesn’t have anything to say that we want to hear anyway. I have a prior engagement tomorrow night. Haven’t figured out what it is yet but I’ll think of something.

Can Chewbacca be dressed in a full burka, please oh please! Everyone would appreciate it...
I hope Michael farts a lot.
No one's going to watch this clown show anyhow.
Obamadork's last SOU speech was an all-time low, one out of nine Americans with TVs watching...this year projected less than one in 20.
I'm going to watch "true crime" on Channel ID instead...although there won't be much difference between the two shows.
Leni
Me either.
Sorry Barack, no TV, no Internet, no time (too busy trying to get a business going in your unnecessarily protracted crappy economy).

LOL, you’ve got that right.
LOL! This traditional speech has become a political harrangue... nothing to do with the UNION ... more against the union. IF I were in the Congress I would probably stay home... and not just this latest harrangue.
