Mr. President,

Where do I start? Increasing minimum wage by almost $3 an hour!? Businesses already can't afford your "affordable care act." Your pizza boy example, doesn't apply to increasing minimum wage! Pizza boy stays where he is because his employer chooses to pay him more. What incentive does he have to continue working there when he can go next door and get the same pay? I'm by no means an economist and don't want to pretend like I even understand economics, but don't you want to give Janet Yellen a chance to be successful?

"MyRa," it's not your responsibility to make/ make it easier, for Americans to save for retirement. Americans don't save for retirement because they choose not to! They want their nice cars and fancy things and choose to live paycheck to paycheck and above their means! If they wanted to save, they would! Offering retirement plans is one way they market themselves to qualified employees, it shouldn't be a requirement.

AND, you mentioned how it was priority for you to keep tragedies like Sandy Hook from happening....but you didn't even begin to discuss how! I can only assume your plan is to talk these shooters down with your Excellent public speaking skills because we all know how keen you are on gun rights!

Are they talking about the Punch Pizza guy? If so, he would stay because Punch is FANTASTIC.

thankfully all my crazies are much more interested in discussing the traffic in B'ham and Atlanta today.. I don't think I've seen a SOTU comment from anyone who isn't on this board

the good thing about the ::ahem:: interesting people on my FB feed is that they don't bother to watch SOTU.



(I didn't either... so there's that)

You guys are continuing to prove my weeks theme: People suck.

I already don't like Punch. And I have to go there on Saturday. Now I'm really dreading it.
