No word if State of the Union will feature empty chairs for climate change, Clock Kid

As Twitchy reported, the White House upped the ante on its promise that President Obama’s final State of the Union Address would be “non-traditional” by releasing an organ-backed video suggesting we’re all in for a sermon Tuesday night. That much was obvious from the moment it leaked that there would be an empty chair in the first lady’s box to represent the victims of gun violence whose voices have been silenced.

Remember how snarky Obama & Dems were about Clint Eastwood's "Empty Chair?" I vow to be snarky about Obama's empty chair at the SOTU!

We’d still prefer that the empty chair occupy the lectern, Clint Eastwood style, but quite a few have weighed in on alternative occupants of Michelle Obama’s empty chair.

Hey 0bama! How about an empty chair for Ambassador Chris Stephens at your "I, I, Me, I, ME, I, I," speech?

Instead of the empty chair at the #SOTU tomorrow representing victims of gun violence, it should represent Obama's nonexistent leadership.

The 'empty chair' during #SOTU speech is symbolic of #POTUS legacy..it's been nonexistent. https://t.co/ddbCuHz382

@benshapiro Why not an empty chair for "climate change"??

We really like this idea for the “empty” chair — a victim of gun violence who survived an assassination attempt by an ISIS sympathizer:

The cop who was shot in Philly should be sitting in the "empty chair" at the #SOTU to show how you defend yourself

National Review’s Kevin D. Williamson is sticking with the Clint Eastwood approach and leaving a empty lectern.

Now this is an idea that should go viral. https://t.co/5pkCZNM39F

Amen. And if they are going to invite him, why allow him to do the empty chair stunt? It's not his playpen. https://t.co/8HuQzaWauw

@KevinNR @SpeakerRyan @POTUS a golf course would be a more suitable location!
