[Editor’s note: This is Simon’s take on what POTUS should have said at last night’s State of the Union address.]My fellow Americans. It has become somewhat of a tradition for Presidents to stand in front of you during this annual address and claim that “the state of our union is strong”.And there have been times in our nation’s history when that statement was true.But tonight it is not true. Tonight the state of our union is atrocious, and it’s getting worse. In fact, we, all of us politicians, seem to be putting our foot on the gas pedal with each passing day.
