Coulter Hated Trump’s SOTU
“This was the lamest, sappiest, most intentionally tear-jerking SOTU ever. Please fire your speechwriter.”

Santorum: Trump’s SOTU Speech the Worst Ever
“This was probably the worst delivered speech I’ve heard Donald Trump give. He ran over his lines, he mixed up, he didn’t deliver his punch lines, he would deliver a line and go to the next issue, and I don’t think he even realized he was moving on to the next issue.”
— Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), discussing President Trump’s State of the Union address on CNN.
What Boehner Did During the SOTU
This is the president’s night, and so I sit there and try to make no news. Although, inside, I’ve got a lotta things rollin’ through my mind.
— Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), quoted by the AP, on what he’s thinking about during the State of the Union address.
The GOP Translation of Obama’s State of the Union Speech
You won nothing in November. The 2014 election had no consequences for my Administration whatsoever. You may have beaten my party and members of my team in the mid-term elections, but you’ve never beaten me. And, now you never will. All this talk about compromise and working together means you do what I want, because I’m not meeting you halfway on anything. My veto pen is ready and inked up. I will fight you and your agenda til the movers come on January 20th, 2017. I am still the President.
— GOP pollster Neil Newhouse translates President Obama’s State of the Union address.
No SOTU Blues
The opportunities for a president to address the nation are few,
But the GOP wants to punish him for pushing immigration reform through.
They want to put the kibosh on
This year’s State of the Union,
But it’ll be a sad day if POTUS doesn’t get to give his SOTU.
