Iadarola, Rubin, Jimmy, and RJ hosting. Talk about some of the larger issues that the president failed to mention at the SOTU Address last night. One was the success of ObamaCare. Talk about gay marriage and police brutality on undeserving citizens. Video of the zinger Obama snapped on condescending Republicans during the SOTU last night. When the GOP applauded his point about not running anymore campaigns, he responded by saying, “I know because I won both of them.” After the much talked about response, crybaby republicans complained that his tone won’t help him in working together. The GOP response to the SOTU was done by Joni Ernst, where she robotically went hokey in talking about her humble farming background, mentioning bread bags on her shoes. Fox and Friends responded to Obama’s pitch to make community college free by lamenting the free schooling while they had to pay for their own. Speaker John Boehner announced that he will invite Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to the Congress about out Iran policy without consulting with the White House. As Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson fear the SCOTUS will rule in favor of equal rights for gay couples, they voiced their displeasure by going after judges. Audio of Huckabee claiming that if it is deemed legal, the states shouldn’t follow the law. Audio of Ben Carson claiming that Congress can and should remove judges that rule in favor of equal rights.
