    Your ilk will pay for it, for sure.
    Sore losers, cheaters and coup plotters ruin the game.

    You will not find a more cynical, do nothing, pathetic group of loser, Anti-American douchebags than the Democrats who hate the US so much and want to turn the US into a third world shithole as long as they got theirs in their corrupt ways. If I had my wish, I would trade these Democrats for those waiting to enter the US thru legal immigration. I am sure those foreigners will be more loyal and love the US more than the Democrats have their entire privileged lives. If these Democrats hate the US so much, why don't they move to Canada, France, Italy or Germany or any other Socialist country? They have it so good in the US, living off the US taxpayers without even having to do their jobs. Where else can they do that?

    Exactly. Trump turns things like a constitutional responsibility into a partisan event. It’s just more degradation of the executive branch under Trump.

    Just stating the fact. Fox and talk radio were merciless to Obama, but he never said they were enemies of the people.

    yes both right and left media have their biases.

    Trump called free media enemy of the people, for this alone he deserves to be shown the door in November and he will be.

    Yup, he kept his dirty work quiet. It was quiet because MSM couldn't lick his boots fast enough.

    In 2009, for example, the Obama White House intentionally excluded Fox News’ Chris Wallace from participating in a round of interviews pertaining to the president’s push for healthcare reform. Later that same year, the administration officials tried to block Fox reporters from interviewing “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg. The White House initially lied about this, and many in the press went along with it. It wasn’t until 2011 that the public learned the truth of the Feinberg episode. An internal email dated Oct. 22, 2009, showed the White House director of broadcast media told Treasury officials specifically, “We’d prefer if you skip Fox please.”

    in 2012, Fox was mysteriously excluded from a White House conference call pertaining to the terrorist attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Fox was also excluded from an all-network CIA briefing regarding the attacks.

    In 2013, the Obama Justice Department labeled then-Fox News reporter James Rosen a “criminal co-conspirator” under the Espionage Act of 1917. And all because the reporter used a State Department contractor as a source for a story. Rosen was also labeled a "flight risk."

    In 2014, the Obama administration set the record for denying the most Freedom of Information Act requests of any administration. It topped this feat in 2015.

    He never actually called the news media the “enemy of the people.” He and his lieutenants simply prosecuted and spied on reporters, all while claiming Fox is "an opponent" and not “ really a news station.”

    Many on the right said the same hyperbolic statements during Obama's term.

  10. Same thing happened when Obama and Bush gave their speeches (someone even called Obama a liar during the speech). SOTU is all politics and only gets full room.applause when a military person is honored. Dont have a short memory. Only half the room stands and applause at these things since they were first televised.
