Obama's job speech.

Scheduled to start shortly. The Republicans have a duty to show up. They ought not emulate Democrats from Wisconsin and Indiana state legislatures. It is also a protocol that should be observed. Protocols are simply political courtesies. They should respect the office of the president. Boehner gets it. Should Obama have a moment as he did when he broke protocol and publicly criticized the Supreme Court, then a walk-out might be justified. But, they have to wait and they have to be there.

    I know. It's just a critique of style.

    Tax reform.
    Class warfare within tax proposal. He says, no. Hm

    Weaving liberty and government support, artfully.
    Whoops, went off the reservation on the constitution. Pllllt!
    Says part of the pledge including under God. Trying to recover from a pin drop moment on the constitution.
    Don't wait till next election. Well, yeah. It would be a feather in his cap, and just in time.
