It occurred to me that watching Obama’s SOTU address is wholly unnecessary. He hasn’t had a new talking point in two years.

If you’re going to watch the SOTU speech tonight and expect enlightenment, I’m willing to bet you believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy

Obama’s speech guaranteed to divide people into groups and pit them against one another bc he has no record to stand on #SOTU
