Thread: The State Of The Union

I work evenings so was not able to watch the speech. I had heard about the Republican response and, considering the fact that they had been shut out of so much in this last year, I think it was a sign of protest rather than "sitting on thier hands". I heard stories of Democrats hiding in rooms, pretending they were not "home", sneaking out the back when others knocked??? What kind of nonsense is this for our elected leaders to be engaging in? The utter failure of this president to follow through on promises like transparency, televising debates, being more nonpartisan, etc. is, I am sure, very frustrating to a party that finds itself in the minority (at the moment). I don't like to get into much political arguing but I have yet to see a more devisive figure as President Obama has turned out to be.

Having said that, I will add that there is always hope. I pray for him regularly and hope that as he matures, he will abandon some of his devisive ideology and become what he promised...a President for everyone.
