they deserve a simple vote. >> here we are a whole year later and there has been zero movement on gun control. it's not just gun control. frankly many of the issues mentioned in this year's speech were simply repeats from last year like immigration and tax reform. don't get me wrong, i love the amazingly awkward moments like biden channeling the fonz from happy days or speaker boehner giving obama the men toes thumbs up. but beyond entertainment, how does the state of the union move us forward as a nation? how is it any different from running for eighth grade class president promising ice cream at lunch? i lost that race. but knowing fair well that nothing would ever happen. the state of the union today is more symbolic than anything else. it's about each side getting to air their own agendas. for republicans that apparently means four different vergs in a come different languages. but why not? it's also the perfect opportunity for lawmakers to wait for hours just to get that seat on the aisle so they can show their face on television
