So once again we come to the State of the Union Address, otherwise known as the Night of Empty Promises. At least President Obama can grandstand in a much more literate manner than his predecessors. Just looking for redeeming value.
I predict:
- There will be lots of clapping.
- Clarence Thomas won’t attend.
- Mitch McConnell won’t be caught smiling.
- John Boehner, sitting behind the president, will impart an orange glow.
- The camera will frequently pan to an over-enthusiastic Nancy Pelosi.
- On no domestic issues will Democrats and Republicans stand to applaude at the same time.
- Marco Rubio’s response will be pretty good.
- Joe Biden will be fighting to stay awake.
