State of the Union Address

The Constitution of the United States of America mandates that the president deliver a yearly address regarding the State of the Union.  As far as I'm concerned, we don't need one.  Here's why: the war in Afghanistan is drawing to a close, Bin Laden is dead, the federal deficit is down by over two thirds, unemployment is down to its lowest point since before GWB, gas prices are lower than who-knows-when, millions of Americans now have health insurance when they once were denied it and this country is still the best one on earth-bar none. And yet, the republicans still whine, whine, whine. It's time for them to go away-for good.
