It shows a lack of respect for Barry's office, the Constitution and the Supreme Court. That the party of Pelosi thought this poor behavior worthy of another standing ovation, shouldn't surprise me but it did.

I beg (1) to differ, and also (2) to agree whole heartedly.
(1) "The seven wise souls are appointed for life"
At least one of the souls on the SCOTUS is not so wise, having openly stated that
'the perspective of a Latina matriarch (my interpretation) would be superior to anyone man's' is racist and self-congratulatory. There is no wisdom in making that statement, only arrogance, the lack of humility which should be a requisite character strength of every person nominated for that highest judicial office. Yet she was confirmed by the Demo-dominated US Senate, showing a lack of wisdom in that inaugust body also.
(2) "It shows a lack of respect for (the President's) office, the Constitution and the Supreme Court. That the party of Pelosi (and Biden and Reid) thought this poor behavior worthy of another standing ovation, shouldn't surprise me but it did."
From what I have heard, OBAMA's comments re: SCOTUS were factually wrong, which prompted Justice Alito to shake his head and mouth the words, "Not true." All this intra-governmental drama being played out in a SOU Address is unprecedented. OBAMA would be KING if he could, in fact if not in name, another AA cultural tradition from the Continent which is played out in virtually every AA church where the pastor is Tribal Chief / King / Boss / Arbiter of all business and disputes.
Consider the arrogance which tempts the mind of any such powerful unprincipled figure: for example "BISHOP" (self-styled) James Dixon, whose arrogance has destroyed his own home and fragmented his family, leading to his vicious assault on his wife this week at her home (
[U}her[/U]home because they are separated). There are a good many excellent pastors in all cultures and traditions; and a terrible number of tyrants.
In bho we see embodied the axiom,
Power corrupts.
On another note, given Michelle's cold stares and cold shoulder given with some frequency to bho in public in the last year, there is more drama in the making in their household, sadly so for the kids and the country.
IMHO
