The media outlets around the country are going to be focused on the President of the United States tonight. Barack Obama will be giving his State of the Union address about major issues concerning the citizens of the United States. With high unemployment and with gun issues revolving around the massacre in Arizona, there is alot of business to be done at our nation's capitol tonight. Since the beginning of this country, Republicans have set on one side of the aisle and Democrats on the other. But tonight let's just say that the two major political parties will be having a strange relationship.
This is supposed to be the first time that the Republicans and Democrats are to be sitting together at the State of the Union address. The politicians at Washington say this is supposed to be a bipartisan relationship among the two parties. Conservatives on the other hand are not pleased about this at all. Some conservatives see this as a way to silence their oppostion about Obama's policies because of the Democrats sitting by them. I may not agree with everything the Republicans say, but I do agree that there is no need to change traditions because of bipartisanship.
What I read in the New York Times that Rep. Michelle Bachmann will be giving a speech at the State of the Union adress. Rep. Bachmann will be giving an opposition speech about Obama's. She will be giving a speech about fiscal discipline which is a major objective in the Tea Party movement. Reports say that she might also speek about the successful repeal of the health care bill at the House. Rep. Bachmann also said she will do anything to dismantle the massive government programs.
My opinion is that I agree with the Republicans about their opposition about the bipartisan relationship at the State of the Union. I also agree that you always need a different opinion at the State of the Union address. Of course there is always an opposition especially about Rep. Bachmann speaking tonight. I believe in the First Amendment which protects freedom of speech especially for Michelle Bachmann.

I agree that merging the two parties is ridiculous. It seems so pointless and a waste of time. Makeing two people sit together will not make them like each other and it certainly won't make them agree!
