Lessons Not Learned

Two things are apparent from Wednesday night's SOTU -- (1) The Obama machine doesn't read this blog, or at least doesn't put much stock in the lessons learned by the last Democrat to be in the White House; and (2) They don't seem to care much for the sanctity of the Supreme Court, either. Really. The partisan cheap shot on the Citizens United case is unprecedented and disgraceful. Reasonable people can disagree on a 5-4 judicial decision, but if ever a chief executive took a shot down Pennsylvania Avenue at a constitutionally independent body, let alone from the highest-profile forum available, I am not aware of it.

Embarrassing and unpresidential. And he got his facts wrong, too.
