Nugent showing his true colors
“I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama,” [Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas] said in a statement released Monday morning. “After the Address I’m sure Ted will have plenty to say.”
That’s assuming Nugent can hold his tongue during the speech. Either way, it won’t be the first time President Obama’s played to an ornery crowd.
Nugent and President Obama have some history, too.
In April, 2012, the Secret Service called Nugent in for a talking-to after he delivered some unnerving comments at an NRA convention in St. Louis, Mo.
“If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again,” Nugent blared, “I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”
After meeting with Nugent a few days later, the Secret Service declared the situation “resolved.” And that may be so, but his self-imposed deadline has not yet passed.

Can’t wait for Ted Nugent his self-imposed deadline to arrive to completion and we all can enjoy missing him.
