John Boehner cry, (assuming the House Speaker even condescends to show up), then at the State of the Union, POTUS ought to make a short clear ringing declaration that Social Security Cuts are Off Limits in any future negotiations with congress on deficit reduction.
Then immediately segue into a long discussion about job creation proposals.
Likely this will be a huge provocation from the barely sane caucus of the House GOP, for the next ten days they'll be railing about social security=socialism making themselves look like incendiaries and reactionary anarchists.
I can just hear Michele Bachmann screaming into the Fox News microphones like a blood crazed banshee.
It will be a heartening and edifying spectacle...For democrats.
Important constituencies will "come home" to the democratic party, the GOP will look emotionally unstable, Boehner will likely just barely hold onto his gavel and it will compel our opponents to debate on unfavorable terms.
As far as I am concerned the State of the Union is a fine place to draw an ideological line in the sand on behalf of a measure that is overwhelmingly popular with the American People. I wouldn't make said statement a centerpiece of the speech, but a short clear statement of intent would probably enough to cause the House to erupt like Krakatoa and make the President look sane steadfast and resolute.
One little sentence and the town will go "Boom".
Think about it...
