SOTU 15 is really going to be a stump speech from the Campaigner-in-Chief for the 2016 election. He wants to throw out a handful of shiny objects for his liberal minions to drool over in hopes they will follow the party line and vote in their usual indoctrinated manner. You know, vote for the ones who gives us the “mostest”.
What Obama really needs to talk about is serious tax code reform, a REAL strategy to improve the plight of the disappearing middle class – and it’s not to give away junior college basket weaving scholarships. He also needs to talk about how he is willing to work for bipartisan support in facing the many issues in front of him over the next 2 years.
I doubt he will take the high road though, is he afraid of something?
The Republicans are more than capable of losing the upcoming election cycle on their own since the silent majority of moderates can’t keep the small crew of misguided nutcases muzzled. They are weak and ineffective and combined with truly liberal and equally ineffective lefties on the Dem side will manage once again to accomplish nothing.
Can Obama effect positive change? Not until he decides to work with Congress, however distasteful that may be.
And not until he realizes he represents an entire country, not just one political party.
