I was outraged when I read that the editor of the National Review, Rich Lowery, suggested that Speaker Boehner request the president's State of the Union Address in writing and tell him he isn't welcome in the House Chamber. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/11/26/republican-lawmakers-consider-banning-pres-obama-from-delivering-state-of-the-union/
Since the beginning of our history as a country, the sitting president has given a State of the Union (SOTU) address to Congress. Now, some GOP are suggesting not allowing President Obama to deliver the annual address next January. I couldn't believe it when I read it but it seems to be true. They call him King Obama and find any way possible to demean him. http://www.salon.com/2014/11/25/wingnuts_plot_pathetic_new_ways_to_pester_obama_dont_let_him_give_a_state_of_the_union/
Is it too much to ask our elected representatives to stop acting like spoiled brats and work together for the good of the country? As usual, if you ever read this far, I am going to ask that you consider letting your elected representatives know how you feel and what you'd like them to focus their efforts on in the next Congress. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov.
