It is appalling that these victims of a terrorist attack have not been helped.

He would ask Obama why the promises he made more than five years ago to take care of the 32 survivors and the families of the 14 people killed, including an unborn child, have not been fulfilled. He would ask his commander-in-chief to stand up for truth and reclassify the shooting as a terrorist attack. He’d ask him to honor the men, women and families with Purple Hearts and compensation like those who were honored in the Pentagon terrorist attacks and Boston Marathon bombings.
Lunsford wants to know why the Army he voluntarily enlisted in and the country he is willing to die for abandoned him and the other victims after the fallout. Lunsford, along with the other survivors of Ft. Hood, recently shared his thoughts with TheBlaze for a special that will air on TheBlaze TV’s “For The Record” (February 12, 8:30 p.m. ET). He and others like him will share how they’ve endured since the shooting, their stories of survival and the pain of feeling abandoned by their own government.
But tonight — in his Army dress uniform — Lunsford will sit in silence. He will listen to the president in the Capitol chamber as an honored guest of Texas Rep. Roger Williams (R), who has long supported the fight of Ft. Hood victims to be compensated for what he and many others lawmakers believe was a deliberate terrorist attack.
“I would tell the president what an honor it is to meet him. But I want the president, the country to know we are here,” Lunsford, whose 6-foot-9 stature will be hard to miss at the event, told TheBlaze as he made the long six-hour drive from his hometown in North Carolina to Washington D.C.
I think we need a Constitutional Amendment to require (it's already optional) the SOTU report to Congress be a written report. The SOTU speech along with the (NOT REQUIRED) opposition response is nothing but theater, and poor theater at that.
^^This.
Haven't decided if I will watch or not - it's all so very tedious, no matter who is the President.
It will be more war against half the American people. And of course he will lie. The only thing he is good at.
