Let me sum it up for everyone not able to watch. I vow is it too late to have a do over of my first year. I vow sorry I fucked that up for all of you who actually bought in to my speaches.......I vow I am a great speaker afterall. I vow goodnight, and I vow God Bless America. Oh, and I vow to fuck up your great night of tv programing of Modern Family and Cougar Town to say nothing.
you forgot the crowning achievement of his presidency thus far, eliminating "don't ask don't tell". well, he will...just working on it still.
He will be a bit chaste, very eloquent and very 'Presidential'. Whether what he says holds any truth or promise is anybody's guess, but he is one of the great orators in the world in the last 25 years.
The things I remember most about SOTUs is that every time there's a comma or pause for breath, half of the Congress stands up and claps for 30 seconds.
"My fellow Americans, I come to you with a heavy heart. NOT because if the health care issues. NOT because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. NOT because of the economy. But, because I had a pepperoni pizza last night. Thank you, and good night."
Actually, it begins at 6 PM our time, while the Blazer game begins at 7 PM. Probably some cross-over, though.
It's funny watching those looking around to see who's standing/clapping and who's not.......perhaps, wondering if they, themselves, should be standing/clapping or not.
Obama seems to take a lot of incidental personal experience to shape policies versus seeing what America likes (esp. with Healthcare reform).
