Al-Qaeda was not mentioned tonight at Obama’s State of the Union address for the first time since Bush’s first State of the Union speech in February of 2001. You don’t even have to ask why Obama failed to mention al-Qaeda. Yemen is undergoing a coup by radical Islamist, and you have al-Qaeda killing people in Paris France just two weeks ago. Yet, there was not one mention of al-Qaeda. Should I really be surprised?
As expected, Obama never mentioned Al Qaeda in his speech. God help us. #SOTU

Not mentioned in Obama's SOTU: al Qaeda. Obama's "turned the page" on them. Unfortunately, they haven't turned the page on killing us.

Obama’s State of the Union speech was basically the free stuff speech, and I’ll veto anything Republicans said me. Surely, he could have found some time to mention al-Qaeda, especially after what they did in France?
Guess not.
