A state of the union address the president is unlikely to give

Tonight, Barack Obama will stand before a joint session of Congress and deliver his sixth state of the union address.

I respectfully submit this draft for consideration, NMcD.

My fellow Americans,

These speeches are traditionally a time for your president to lay out his vision for the year to come.

But let's face it: I'm a lame duck, and you Republicans now control both houses of this great Congress. So this is sort of pointless.

I was, for example, going to use this speech to suggest we give ordinary Americans a bit of a tax break.

I read the report yesterday that by next year one per cent of the world's population will control more wealth than the other 99 per cent.

That book by the French economist last year, the one that so many of you didn't read, says history proves that inequality will only get worse (I know it has on my watch). So I thought it would be a good idea to tax our richest citizens a bit more, and our ordinary citizens a bit less.

And I thought maybe we could offer community college students free tuition for a couple of years, and raise the federal minimum wage.

But as I look out at this Congress, I realize I might as well yell those and any other ideas I have right into the Oval Office toilet.

[EDITORIAL COMMENT:- Obviously anyone who lives in a socialist country ruled by a Queen and who doesn't make any money out of supporting either the Republicans or the Democrats doesn't have a clue what they are talking about. Right?]
