I’ll listen respectfully when President Obama gives his State of the Union speech. The office he holds deserves that, and perhaps he’ll say something new. Perhaps he’ll start respecting the Constitution and the Americans who disagree with him.

But Peggy Noonan had it about right at the Wall Street Journal:

“The bigger problem is that the president stands up there Tuesday night with ObamaCare not a hazy promise but a fact. People now know it was badly thought, badly written and disastrously executed. It was supposed to make life better by expanding coverage. It has made it worse, by throwing people off coverage. And—as we all know now but did not last year—the program was passed only with the aid of a giant lie. Now everyone knows if you liked your plan, your doctor, your deductible, you can't keep them.

“When the central domestic fact of your presidency was a fraud, people won't listen to you anymore.”
