I didn’t watch the State of the Union address Tuesday night.Instead I sat with my lovely wife, had a glass of wine and played with the dogs.But let me guess how it went.President Obama stood in front of Congress and declared the state of the union is strong - except for a whole bunch of new government freebies and new federal laws he wants to see enacted to make it even stronger.To pander to his liberal Democrat base, he promised his usual wish list of unrealistic ideas that not three Republicans in the House and Senate will support.He called for Congress to mandate paid sick leave for workers.He promised to close the gender gap on wages. He called for a hike in the national minimum wage.He didn’t promise to make everyone in the middle class a millionaire. But he said he was going to ask Congress to pass this year’s special treat -- “a bold new plan” for Congress to make community college free for anyone who wants it.The president is supposed to be so brilliant.
