I see that Warren Buffett's secretary will be a guest at tonight's State of The Union address
So I guess that means get ready for a high dose of class warfare tonight
Speaking of Buffett
Warren Buffett Stands To Make Huge Profit From Obama’s Rejection of Keystone Pipeline…
Obama scores a two-for-one, he gives his far-left “green” base their pound of flesh and lines the pockets of one of his most valuable supporters. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-01-2 ... eline.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I'm sure he'll bring that up
Any other predictions on the State of the Union

My prediction is more utter BS just like every one before it regardless of political party.
I agree that I think Obama will begin inciting the class warfare issue more than before, and he'll once again back away from any role he may have played in the past year with debt limits, etc. and blame it all on the Congress and Republicans. The good thing is that I'll just read the Cliff's notes tomorrow and won't sit through this insufferable speech.

I also predict that, for the 50th consecutive year, I won't watch it. I'll pick up the highlights on CS.com tomorrow.

Yep, he'll try to out populist the conk candidates. And a bunch of Obamabots will watch all googley-eyed and forget the broken promises and catering to the financial serivices sector of the last three years.

Yeah the CS.com highlight review won't be spinning 250 mph in both directions. A nice even keel logical interpretation.
What's the over/under on "fair share"?

I'm definitely not watching Obama's campaign speech tonight.
Yep, just like convention speeches, inauguration speeches, or SOTUs, generally don't watch them, either party. Its either a campaign speech (like it will be tonight) and/or full of lofty rhetoric, generalities, themes, without specifics and details (which means it doesn't tell you jack squat).
I'll read the highlights tomorrow or hear them on the radio.

I'll watch
--
State of the Union address on 1,000th day since Senate Dems passed a budget
The Daily Caller ^
Tuesday, the day that President Barack Obama will deliver the State of the Union address, also marks the 1,000th day since Senate Democrats last proposed a budget plan.
House and Senate Republicans will be making this point often over the next 36 hours, flipping on its head the oft-repeated remark by Obama and other Democrats that House Republicans are responsible for the current legislative gridlock.
The last time the Senate passed a budget was April 29, 2009. Senate Budget Committee Republican staff points out that the Senate could have passed a budget without fear of a filibuster, as Senate rules prohibit that action when dealing with a budget.

So if no one from CS will be tuning in tomorrow how will we know what happened? Who will be producing the highlight reel?

I actually enjoy watching the State of the Union address. Love him or not, President Obama is a great speaker and his State of the Unions have been 1000x better than President Bush's who couldn't get a proper sentence off half the time. Otherwise, I realize that it's all politics but if you take it for what it's worth, it's an interesting watch.
ps. One thing that really annoys me though is all the cheering (and rare booing) after every little thing. Not only does it kill the flow, I think it's completely disrespectful to our nation. Congress is a sacred institution and it's members should project it as such, especially when the President is speaking. It really puts me off when grown adults that are in-charge of a governmental branch are all howling like little children in there. Both sides need to all sit down, shut the fuck up, and listen.

If he is going to FLAT OUT LIE then he needs to be called on it, and they shouldn't just sit there listening to him spout his BS.
There was also when he broke a long standing tradition and crticized a recent SCOTUS decison:
"U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts said Tuesday the scene at President Obama's first State of the Union address was "very troubling" and that the annual speech to Congress has "degenerated into a political pep rally."
Obama chided the court for its campaign finance decision during the January address, with six of the court's nine justices seated before him in their black robes.
Roberts said he wonders whether justices should attend the address.
"To the extent the State of the Union has degenerated into a political pep rally, I'm not sure why we're there," said Roberts, a Republican nominee who joined the court in 2005.
Roberts said anyone is free to criticize the court and that some have an obligation to do so because of their positions.
"So I have no problems with that," he said. "On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum. The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court -- according the requirements of protocol -- has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling."
Breaking from tradition, Obama used the speech to criticize the court's decision that allows corporations and unions to freely spend money to run political ads for or against specific candidates.
"With all due deference to the separation of powers, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said.
Justice Samuel Alito was the only justice to respond at the time, shaking his head and appearing to mouth the words "not true" as Obama continued...." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03 ... troubling/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
And what do the libtards in the lamestream media do? Criticize Obama like they should have? No, they criticized Alito.
Here's a novel idea for Obama- don't sit up there and repeat one lie after another. Don't turn it into a GD campaign rally (I know for Obama this will be an impossibility).
So, no, I am not going to watch Obama's pep rally tonight.

Since it has already turned into a campaign pep rally, may as well do it the way the Brits do it, would be far more entertaining. Maybe I would watch for the entertainment value:

This. Fuck pomp and circumstance.
And as for your previous post, Alito is an inconsistent, non-sensical douchebag of the first order and deserves every bit of ridicule he's received.
