While driving to work one day during the George W. Bush years I heard someone on NPR breaking down the idiocy of a war with Iraq. I was Yes!-ing and Thank You!-ing in the car, delighted for someone articulating what I was thinking. Turned out to be someone I was only vaguely aware of, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois.
It was political love at first hearing.
So, as we approach President Obama's last State of the Union, I present my Prez Drops Mic and Leaves wish list. Feel free to add your own!
- Gives the entire speech looking directly into Sen. Mitch "One-Term" McConnell's rheumy eyes
- At some point uses the phrase, "All y'all."
- Flanking FLOTUS up in the balcony? Davids Plouffe and Axelrod. (Not that she would run, just to make heads explode.)
- Reads Wikipedia entry on melanin and explains the substance really doesn't have anything to do with one's intelligence or willingness to work hard.
- VP Biden 2012 debate reenactment with Speaker Paul Ryan getting smirked to shreds
- Dispensing of liberal amounts of shade over all the haters
- The sentry drops protocol, gives POTUS a bro-hug
- POTUS, for the thousandth time, schooling people on what it means to be an American ("What part of e pluribus unum are you not getting?")
- Is the "You Lie!" guy still there? Notorious RBG gives him a sucker punch during the post-speech glad-handing. No witnesses.

"The state of the union is hella good. Stupid, sick CRAZY good. No thanks to you on that side of the aisle."
