HE'S A FOLLOWER, NOT A LEADER:
The 2015 State of the Union was a punt to Republicans (Ed Rogers, January 21, 2015, Washington Post)
President Obama's sixth State of the Union address was mostly a punt. The president patted himself on the back and gave us plenty of nice platitudes and the usual rhetoric -- but beyond that, he didn't really mount a charge. He didn't break any new ground with the particulars he did offer, from government-mandated sick leave to an increase in the minimum wage.
He really should have had Mitch McConell deliver the speech.
