Oh no you don't

What would be the most unforgivable thing Barack Hussein Obama could do? It's not completely fuck up health care reform. It's not keeping a frightening number of Bush Administration legal policies. It's not escalating Afghanistan. And it's not being a socialist Kenyan Mooslem black nationalist who wants to detonate the Bill of Rights with his underpants bomb. No, it's this:
ABC insiders may soon want to tell President Obama to get "Lost."

The White House is finalizing plans for this year's State of the Union address and is said to be mulling two dates for the speech, according to a person familiar with the matter: Jan. 26 and Feb. 2.

So what's wrong with that? Well, Jan. 26 would mean an interruption of "American Idol" -- though Fox likely planned for that (or would simply tell the White House to take a hike, as it has before).

But Feb. 2? Other than the fact that it's a holiday (Groundhog Day/TV MoJoe's birthday), that's the date ABC months ago staked out for the premiere of the final season of "Lost."
BARRY, YOU SON OF A BITCH! DON'T MESS WITH MY EMOTIONS!

Isn't there something in the Constitution or the Magna Carta that says "Thous shalt be required to give the State of the Union on the first Tuesday of the second month of the year. That is, of course, unless there is the invention of a magical picture box that will debut the first part of the final installment of a popular dramatical play. Then it shall be moved to when some other dumb ass bullshit is on. So sayeth the founding fathers."

Is there really any question what to bump? American Idol. Or, if you don't want to enrage all the rural tractor riding bible thumpin' coal miners who watch it, you interrupt some other goddamn night where there isn't a good show on. Priorities Barry, priorities. We already know the state of the union: shitty and probably going to get shittier. Unless you're going to tell us what the smoke monster is in between praising the health care bill and outlining a jobs bill, don't waste our time.

I'm serious. Don't you do it, Barack. Lost baby, it's Lost.
