state of the union

I LOVE watching the State of the Union. I don't care who the president is, I just love it.

-It reminds me of high school. You only sit with your friends. I would totally be the rebel Democrat* that sat in the middle of the Republicans. It's like they think the "others" have cooties. And, this is also why I would never be elected to any public office.

-I can't decide if it would be an honor or an insult to be the cabinet member to be left behind. Like hey, you're so awesome that in case we all explode, you're the person we trust to rebuild our country or hey, seriously not going to happen but we just want you to feel left out.

-I want to be the person that picks out their clothes. Obama with the red tie; Biden with the blue one. And their stripes go opposite directions. The little matching flag pins are adorable though.

-I feel like it's the World Series. Only half the room claps and stands up at a time. The Supreme Court is pretending to be impartial and doesn't show emotions. It could also be because they're all a lot older and all that standing is hard work.

-Regardless of how you feel about Obama, he's a really charismatic speaker.

*I really don't fit in either box. I'm socially liberal, but I don't like being the country's mother. I just picked Democrats since the last president I voted for was one (but it wasn't Obama).
