So what's the state of the Union? Ballin', apparently.

Call me crazy, but this completely took me by surprise. Up to this point, every other State Of The Union by Obama had been the same. Passive. Timid. Vanilla. He said the right things, but you could tell that his heart wasn't completely there. The passion was missing. It always felt like he was holding something back. Well, ladies and gents, based off of his latest SoU, wave goodbye to the old Obama, and say hello to.......well, older Obama. Yes, at this latest SoU, Obama seemed like the Obama we knew back in 2008. Full of energy. Passionate about his words. Not taking s**t from nobody! Seriously, for the first time in the better part of three years, Obama seemed to be in his element. I think that the main reason that he's gotten his swagger back is because he seriously sat down and took a look at his competitors. He realizes that, hey, he's pretty much got this one in the bag. Honestly, this motley crew of GOP hopefuls is nothing short of a gift from God to Obama. If the Republicans had JUST ONE legitimate, viable candidate, they would have mopped the floor with #44. Years of backstabbing and being general all around dickheads to the man had given the GOP a golden opportunity to reclaim the White House. But much like the 2008 New England Patriots, they lost once it came to crunch time. But I digress. Tonight, Obama was in his zone. He was able to able to pat himself on the back for the first time in a while, mentioning how he took out Osama Bin Laden and Gaddafi, and saved the auto industry. Not to mention his record of job creation. What really impressed me was his proposal of giving tax breaks to companies that don't outsource jobs. That is something that will give more companies reason to stay in America, and thus will create jobs for Americans. My favorite aspect of the evening, though, was Speaker of The House John Boehner, seated behind Obama (next to Joe Biden). Throughout the entire evening, he looked like a man who just watched his favorite football team lose. He was angry, no two ways about it? Why was he so mad, you ask? Simple. He knows what Obama knows about the GOP candidates, and he knows there's not a damn thing he can do about it. The snowball has been rolled off the top of the mountain. It's going to take a miracle to slow this mother down. Dickstein, out.
