I might be in bed reading a book by that time. I may come down to watch the President, but always try to avoid the commentary-most of it is pointless and much of it is quite stupid, and I have had too much of that in my life already.

If he utters the words "cut" and "defense budget" in the same paragraph, let me know. I'm not holding my breath.

8. Yes -- we each interpret what somebody else says in our own way. I want to make up |
|
my own mind whether or not to be pissed. :7

At least that would accomplish something.

10. I would have watched it if Keith were on. |
|
But now I'll be watching Keith's Twitter feed of SOTU.
He will tell me the truth about the lies.

14. Absolutely. I wouldn't miss it. In fact, I'm already preparing food for supper... |
|
so I can watch the pre/post comments, as well as the SOTU. I hope he knocks it out of the park.

I am way way over people telling me how to think, and what the POTUS *really* said.

24. I'll read the text. All the dramatics and such annoy me. |
|
They take forever to get around to the speech, it is all theater and affectation.

It's just political theater that has virtually no bearing on reality.
We'll be setting up proxy servers for some friends in Egypt, where real democracy is on display... for now.

30. I will watch his speech. I will not watch any of their rebuttal. There is enough fiction on TV. |

36. Personally, I think this Date of the Union Address will look like a game of Whack-a-Mole. |
|
This "who's sitting with who", and "who has cooties and who doesn't" has made what is a totally inconsequential few minutes into something akin to a sideshow.
Whack-a-Mole is what those who watch tonight will see.
I think I'd rather shave my dog.

38. No. I will read the transcript later. Saves a lot of time that way - |
|
- and I don't have to listen to the drama, talking heads, etc.
