SOTU 8

Usual adoration of "bipartisan." Sort of like it is one of the Bill of Rights.

(Means "Do it my way.")

SOTU 7

"Son of a bar keep is speaker of the house."

And Boehner takes the bait, rises, grins, gives the C in C a sloppy salute.

SOTU 6

"Income inequality."

Right up front, quickly giving lie to White House pre-spinners that you wouldn't emphasize it.

Also, Michelle fixes schools. (Thank you, ma'am.)

SOTU 5

"Create new jobs, not create new crises."

The phrase you're trying to remember, Sir,  is "false dichotomy."
