STATE OF DISUNION

I've heard a lot of discussion, mostly from pundits about tonight's  "State of the Union." It is suppose to be a time when the president "states" where we are as a country and then lays out his coming vision. To me, it is a kind of political theater. The president is meeting and greeting, signing autographs. Making nice with his detractors. Applause, some polite, other more enthusiastic, based on what one supports or doesn't.

Based on the past, the President is a better man than me. I would be calling most all the Republicans sorry ass MFs who don't know the meaning of governing and certainly not of seeking the common good. Our system is broken and we need to throw the bums out. We are not going to do that. Congress has a piss poor approval rating but we love our own reps it seems. How stupid is this! We are being duped right and left. Get this, as an example: A Republican in Washinton in today's political climate, the mantra--"get rid of the president", forget the problems of the country. Assholes!!!!!!

What approach should the President take in his speech? I think first of all, he needs to lose the phrasing, the "American people." It is bullshit that the "American people" are someU entity that he can win over. Many of the so called American people don't give a flying f..k one way or the other. The fact that barely half of eligible Americans vote should tell him something. The President is not going to get anything done in the near future. If he wins the next election which is not certain, then he can tell the Repubs to go f..k themselves but it is not in his nature. I think he personally should just draw the battle lines. When you have a "Speaker of the House" being so disrespectful and Mitch McConnell of the Senate almost as bad, why would you give them the time of day. They should at least respect the Office of the President. If I was a constituent of either of these, I'd be f..king ashamed.

The president should take a page from an advisor to LBJ. What a President has to have according to Walt Rowtow is 60% of the people for him. 25% will be against everything. And, 15% are "out to lunch." With due respect to Walt, in today's political climate, the numbers are probably, President needs 50% for him. 35% are against everything, 15% are still out to lunch (meaning don't care). God bless the President and as the NASCAR guys say, God bless "MERICA."
