Nothing ‘quasi’ about Obama State of the Union

Despite Josh Marshall’s apparent attempt to cut Obama some PR slack, tomorrow night, President Obama will do what other first-year presidents due in their first February in office.

Deliver a State of the Union address. (It’s listed as such in the Dallas Morning News TV insert.)

When a normally reputable blog/online newsmag does this, yeah, it does deserve to get a raspberry both from conservatives, and from left-liberals, and from anybody else who wants more honesty, less PR.

That starts with an expected 5 percent dropoff for the first quarter, followed by about 2 percent in the second quarter.
