What you won't see tonight...

[Jae Williams]

Tonight, when you see President Obama give his State of the Union address, you will see four things:

the President entering the hall,

the President greeting by the Vice President and the Speaker of the
House,

the President giving his speech,

and the reactions of members of the Congress and others.

There is the one thing you will not see and probably have never seen. You won't see what is behind the President and above the Vice President and the Speaker. And you won't know that you are missing something of importance.

Ever wonder why television cameras never pull back and give a wide-angle view of the President delivering his speech? It’s routine for TV: It is considered uninteresting to TV viewers to have a fixed view of a subject.

So what is up there?

Chiseled in the marble wall behind the Speaker and Vice President, in giant letters, the words…
























"In God We Trust."

I remember one time during a King George presidential address, Cheney nodding off. That was funny!

Why would they be so ordered?? Do have some sort factual evidence to support such a statement, or is this just another of your inanities?
