The SOTU (State of the Union) speech will start in about half an hour. What will Obama announce as his plans for the next year or two?
By Nov. 2014, the Am3erican people had had a big dose of what Obama wanted to do: Releasing terrorists from American prisons, blocking drilling for oil, huge cost increases due to Obamacare, lying about what Obamacare would do, dictator-like abuse of Executive Orders to put into effect things never passed by Congress, wild spending and unheard-of debt, etc.
And in the national election that month, the American people delivered an unequivocal verdict: STOP. They threw Democrats out of office in record numbers, handing the Republicans larger majorities than they have had in most of the country's history. It wasn't so much an endorsement of Republican plans, but a rejection of what Democrats had been imposing on them.
Tonight we will hear Obama give a speech describing what he will do for the next year or two. Will he heed the obvious desire of the American people to back off the dictatorial behavior, back off the mandates and huge costs of Obamacare, stop releasing Islamic terrorists even as they continue to make war against the United States and our allies, etc?
Or will he carry out his threats to veto everything Congress passes, and break the promises he has recently made (or at least implied) that he will work with Congress and compromise with them to get things passed agreeable to both parties?
And, especially, agreeable to the American people? For a change?
