But – but – if there’s no SOTU address, then Scalito couldn’t boycott it! 
Why wouldn’t Obama give his SOTU address? Has his pen run out of ink?
Jefferson was a crap public speaker. His voice was barely audible.
Of course, his Democratic/Republicans liked to call the Federalists “monarchical.” Now Ted Cruz claims President Obama is acting like a "monarch."
Tradition.
A written thing would be his report, not his address.
And simply good manners.
That used to be a thing.
Unless the written thing was “1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington D.C.” … then that’d be his address.
Reported.
Not really. I’d like to see Obama write the address on sharpie on 200 piglets, oil them up and shove them all through the doors when he’s introduced.
Yeah. I’d like to see that.
Of course, an address that Obama’s going to make up on the spot?
Obama might have a written draft of his address? Or maybe Obama jots notes in the borders of a copy of his speech? Or in the notes of his address? Maybe Obama misspoke when he said, “pen”? Maybe Obama meant the stylus he uses to poke his blackberry? What do they call the input device used to load the teleprompter?
Fighting duels and caning each other could also be considered a Congressional tradition.
I understand that Michelle pins Obama’s address to the inside of Obama’s mom jeans.
just kidding.
Just barely.
“Polling,” I think.
And on the unique occasions they occurred, were generally denounced except by the secessionists.
Tell us, do you really think this would *not *make your party look like spiteful children, to those not yet convinced of it? What good do you think would come of it?
If Obama doesn’t want to give his SOTU address from the floor of the U.S. Congress, that’s his call. I’m guessing that many of his supporters don’t care one way or the other.
WTF? The topic is that several members of your party advocate pointedly not *inviting *him.
You never cease to amaze. And not in a good way.
I doubt that a few members of either party could prevent Obama from giving his SOTU address from the floor of the Congress.
Obama, all by his lonesome, can make the decision not to ask Congress if he can address the nation from the floor of the Congress.
Doubling down on the ignorance once again, I see.
If Obama doesn’t want to give the SOTU address from Congress, what difference does it make if a couple of Congressmen do not want to invite Obama to an event Obama won’t attend?
It isn’t Obama not wanting to do it, fool. It’s your guys not wanting to *invite *him.
Maybe they don’t want to take time away from the latest urgent Benghazi hearing. :rolleyes:
