So I missed the SOTU/STFU address, was Darth breathing hard again?

Remember last year when he was huffin' and puffin' behind the podium, and occasionally falling asleep?

I can't bring myself to watch it this year. Just tell me.

TIA - :hi:

cheeks, Mike said maybe he had some blood from some children. Or something like that. :hi:

:rofl:

Get this from his speech:

"The people's trust in their government is undermined by congressional earmarks - special interest projects that are often snuck (Note: snuck is not a word) in at the last minute, without discussion or debate. Last year, I asked you to voluntarily cut the number and cost of earmarks in half. I also asked you to stop slipping earmarks into committee reports that never even come to a vote. Unfortunately, neither goal was met. So this time, if you send me an appropriations bill that does not cut the number and cost of earmarks in half, I will send it back to you with my veto.

***And tomorrow, I will issue an ** executive order that **directs federal agencies to **ignore any future earmark that is not voted on by the Congress. If these items are truly worth funding, the Congress should debate them in the open and hold a public vote."

* added by me for emphasis (I can't seem to highlight or underline).

Isn't this similar to a line item veto?

Since when can he ignore pieces of a Congressional law?

I guess he made himself God and I missed it.

Oh my God, the asshat is more stupid than I thought.

I have immediate, violent anaphylactic reactions to seeing/hearing * on teevee.
