President Barack Obama said Wednesday the speech will lay out his goals for his last year and what “big things” Americans can do after he’s left office.
The State of the Union is Jan. 12 at 9 p.m. ET.
AKA - something for the GOP to cry about.
One more dumb theatric by Obama!
Yawnnnnnnn yawnnnnnnnnn
And the GOP used the empty chair theatric at the 2012 convention… That was the weird Clint Eastwood fail. Somehow I think the SOTU setting will be more effective as a symbol.
Think of it as a translation device for the empathy impaired.
