And your assumption would be wrong. Obama has a choice, a choice that he has yet to make.
In other words, it doesn’t matter if you invite me to your birthday party if I have no intention of attending. Capisce?
Honestly, all I got from that was “lame stream media” and then my stomach reached up and strangled my brain to death.
Does Congress usually wait until the President makes his intention clear before inviting him to deliver the State of the Union Address?
Get well soon!
idk. I assume there is some negotiating done before a resolution is passed creating the event.
Does a President usually announce that he doesn’t need Congress and will act without Congress? Does such a President need, or want, to speak before the Congress he is currently ignoring?
Once again, you are claiming things not supported by the record.
I asked two questions. Can you answer either of them?
Since both were hypothetical, I didn’t see the point.
Neither of your questions is relevant. President Obama is working within his Constitutional role–as a Constitutional scholar would understand. (He* is* one.) Ted Cruz knows better, too. But he’s convinced that enough grandstanding will make him the Republican nominee in 2016. Not realizing how deeply loathsome he is…
The Republicans have been playing to their racist constituency & avoiding any immigration reform legislation. The next two years will be their chance to prove they can govern. They will fail.
Ya know, it rained all day here yesterday. I’m curious as to whether or not it rained on the planet you live on. So, could we get a weather report from CrazyObsessedipter?
Relevant? In the BBQ Pit? Seriously?
Obama is also a Noble peace prize recipient. (It’s as if they just give those things away.)
Let me know when Obama announces his decision as to where he plans on delivering his SOTU address from. Thanks in advance.
Why would I know that it rained all day there yesterday?
Has a President ever done that before?
Do you believe that Bridget Burke is the President? Just for the record, neither Bridget Burke nor the President has ever done that before.
You seem to know everything else. It just seemed logical that you would know about the weather. Sorry for the misunderstanding. It was much nicer here today although a bit on the chilly side early on (at least for this Florida boy). So, how was it today on your planet?
I honestly cannot tell if you’re that fucking stupid, or just playing a very skillful long con.
It only seems that way from your perspective. 
Planet Earth is doing fine. The average global temperature remains steady.
Let it be noted that Dopers are not, for the most part, Terracentric specieists and welcome all life forms without exception*, carbon-based or not.
*Kzinti are welcome if spayed, neutered, bound, gagged and drugged. Heavily.
Let me know when you make a decision on whether or not to strip naked, cover yourself in honey, and roll around in the street while singing “America the Beautiful”.
Then why would you expect the President to do it now?
