It’s that time of the year folks! When all of America sits down and listens in as our Commander-and-Chief address Congress and the nation about the state of our country, and outlines his agenda for the year. A vitally important event where the nation as a whole gathers…… oh who am I kidding? Everyone knows that 80% of State of the Union viewers will be journalists, pundits, and members of Congress.
Especially in Obama’s case. Let’s face it, every State of the Union speech has been trite, tedious, and downright laughable most of the time. But to make things more interesting, the vast majority of viewers make a game of the thing so the event goes by faster. So here at Misfit Politics, we’re giving y’all our iteration of the State of Union Drinking Game! The rules are simple:
- Watch the SOTU tonight. Doesn’t matter which channel.
- If Obama utters a phrase listed below, or you see an action take place that is listed below, you take a drink (or sip, or gulp, whichever synonym you prefer) equal to the number next to it.
That’s it! Simple, right? Easy enough for even an OWS member to play!
Disclaimer: Don’t be an idiot. Be of legal age for whatever it is you are drinking, and don’t drink and drive if you’re playing this at a friend’s house or someplace else. As conservatives, we should all be aware of the concept of personal responsibility. Practice it.
Without further ado, here’s your list!
- If Obama says, “Let me be clear…”, take 1
- “Millionaires and Billionaires”, take 1
- “Fair share”, take 1
- “high-speed rail”, take 2
- There’s an outburst during the speech, take 4
- You notice Joe Biden nodding in agreement, take 1
- “We can’t wait”, take 1
- If Speaker Boehner is seen shaking his head, take 2
- If Obama calls out SCOTUS, take 3 and yell out “Objection!!!” while pointing your finger at the TV
- If Obama tries to highlight ObamaCare as an accomplishment, take 1
- If Obama tries to highlight the stimulus as an accomplishment, take 1
- If Obama references Mitt Romney in mentioning ObamaCare, take 5. Mitt Romney supporters must chug.
- If Obama asks Congress to raise the debt ceiling, take 3 and yell out, “BUT WE’RE ALL OUT OF BEER!”
- “Green jobs”, take 2
- Obama criticizes Super PACs, take 3
- If Obama mentions illegal immigration, take 3 from a Mexican beer or a shot of tequila, then announce your racism to the world for perpetuating stereotypes

Can I do a line of coke instead of drinking?
Your nose will get really wet unless you use a netti pot and the line will just be a puddle!
At least it is not drink one every time he says “I”
If that was the case, we’d all be too drunk to stand within the first 5 minutes… although, being this is 0′s SOTU, that might not be a bad thing.
Don’t forget:
* condescending references to the previous administration – drink 2
* any variation on the term “inherited” – drink 2
* mentions a daughter by name – drink 1
* mentions both daughters – drink 2
* refers to the VP Biden by first name – drink 4
* Bin Laden – drink 1
* includes Bush administration in praise of Bin Laden efforts – drink 5
* references the “unborn” – drink 3
* compares Tea Party and OWS – drink 4
* uses the word “grandma” – drink 2
* Mentions Ron Paul’s Burger Hut, home of the Build-A-Burger. Drink everything you have. (http://ronpaulsburgerhut.com)
Man I should have bought stock in Bud yesterday. With all the drinking that is going to be going on tonight stocks will triple by tomorrow.
Also:
*Fat cats – take 1
*Wall Street – take 1
*Corporate jets – take 2
*”This is NOT class warfare” – shot
*”Do-nothing Congress” – take 1
*Iraq/Afghanistan/Iran/”Arab Spring” – take 2
*”Our closest ally Israel” – take 3
Stay tuned…I’m sure we’ll all come up with even more
Oh! Just thought of some more. In case the big BO addresses:
*Educating (our children) – take 1
*Math and science – take 1
*Test scores – take 1
*Hold teachers accountable – take 2
More! More! MORE, I say!!!
*”I’m calling on Congress to…” – take 1
*”Shared sacrifice” – take 1
Aw, the heck with it. There are just too damned many Obama cliches to worry with. I’m pretty sure that after three years of this crap, any of us who visit this site regularly (or write for it occasionally) could write the speech he’ll give tonight without missing any of the tropes. We could nail the tone, the cadence, the syntax…hell, slip it on the teleprompter and I’m sure he’d read right alond without sensing anything amiss. Sad. Very, very sad.
Suddenly I’m really glad I’ll be at orchestra rehearsal tonight. (I’m always happy about that, but even more than usual tonight, knowing what I’ll get to “miss out on.”)
Have a drink, everybody. Just don’t pass out too early. I hear Mitch Daniels is giving the GOP response, so you want to be able to sort of following along and do some cheerleading and give an occasional “hell yeah!”

I am so proud of the fact that a drinking game post is now probably the most read MP column of all time! LOL ::::::CHUGS:::::::
Well… it’s 9:48 and we’re already saying “No Mas!’ with the drinking.
If I were actually drinking, I would be drunk just from the outbursts during the speech, Joe Biden nodding in agreement, and President Obama saying, “fair share.” Even without the outbursts, I’d be highly intoxicated, actually.
Of course I can’t say the same for the drunk idiots surrounding me since they are, as previously stated, drunk. As in, severely shitfaced–which doesn’t say much since they’re all lightweights, but that’s beside the point.
