President Obama will deliver his annual State of the Union address to the new Republican-run Congress on Jan. 20, officials said Friday.

"Your report will inform our efforts to address the people's priorities," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote in extending the formal invitation to Obama.

Boehner also said that "the new year will bring a new American Congress, and with it, the opportunity to continue our work to build a stronger economy and secure a better future for our country."

Republicans won control of the U.S. Senate in the November elections, and increased their majority in the House.

1. I understand the American Taliban, i.e. Republican party, feels he should not be allowed

to deliver the speech in person to them.

Something about him being the wrong color or something.

2. So - giving it in the usual setting, too. What pathetically grandstanding dumbasses,

to threaten not to invite Obama to give the SOTU. Of course, this does not mean the GOP will behave themselves and STFU at the actual address.

3. "Your report will inform our efforts to address the people's priorities."

Obama should outline what happened over the last year, then say:

"What will happen over the next year? Nothing. This congress will do nothing to address people's priorities. They will be content to moan, despair, and gnash their teeth, while doing nothing. This is the congress you voted for. Thank you America. Good night."
