An oldie but a goodie – updated for today’s government. 

It isn’t all that unusual for a State of the Union address to have their lighthearted moments.  However, when you are trying to make a supposedly serious point and most everyone laughs, that is not a good sign.

Much has been made about what a great orator President Obama is.  Here on these pages, we have often wondered how he received that reputation.  From the use of ‘um’ or ‘uh’ more than 180 times in a press conference to his continued need for a teleprompter, even when speaking at an elementary school (picture [...]
