1. As usual, I'll read the address and I'll ignore the response.

But I ain't watching none of it.

[tularetom]

2. I couldn't even if I wanted to which I don't

[silverweb]

3. I'll be working.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I'll catch the highlights afterwards or tomorrow - but I'll definitely skip the GOP response, which is always a waste of time and bad for my blood pressure.

4. I've come to really dislike the SOTU.

Too much theatrics from both sides.

12. I hate the constant jumping to their feet to applaud part. I will watch part of the address, get bor

and frustrated because of the applause delays, then read the transcript and watch a few highlights tomorrow.

16. I wish we'd go back to the format used from Jefferson to Wilson. . .

where the President gave his account to Congress in writing and there it was read to the assembled body in as dispassionate a voice as possible by the Sergeant at Arms.

The intent was to avoid the "regal" appearance and attitude engendered by the Executive's attendance and the accompanying fawning.

And let's do away with the rebuttals. The Constitution requires the President to give an account to Congress "from time to time." It says nothing about other blowhards chiming in with assorted nonsense words and nonsensical acts.

21. And the whole thing should be facts and statistics..

How many poor people
How many unemployed
How many gun deaths
Etc
Etc
Etc
Until Congress remembers that we send them there to do ACTUAL JOBS.

Congress would Hate me if I were President, I would make sure of it on a daily basis

[cherokeeprogressive]

5. I'll be washing my hair...

or something.

[Brickbat]

6. Nope, hockey's on.

And even if it weren't, I wouldn't.

[randys1]

7. I would think ALL Democrats would watch this historical address.

The last from a man who has worked miracles for a nation that doesnt appreciate or deserve him.




(remember, i am an actual liberal, therefore Obama is not, never was, never said he was, liberal enough for me...does not take away from his amazing accomplishments)

Oh man, post after post of disrespect for our prez, I shouldnt be surprised.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

13. Agree completely.

I haven't always agreed with him but...I've never completely agreed with anyone. He has been a great president and I will never regret voting for him...twice. I fully expect to shed a tear or twenty tonight.

[randys1]

14. Thanks..I appreciate hearing that. The simple fact is when comparing to other presidents

and the holy mess he was left with, he has been amazing.

Some folks will NEVER admit that.

[Person 2713]

17. YES he has been amazing and yes I disagree with him on many things but No regret on my votes

9. Do bears....

Wouldn't miss it. I am betting it will be awesome.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Have to be somewhere but will catch it online later.

[underthematrix]

11. Just President Obama's SOTU

It just breaks my heart we cannot have PBO for another 8 years until Julian Castro is ready to run.

[MerryBlooms]

15. I believe this to be an historical political event.

The first US black President giving his final SOTU... yeah, that's a big fucking deal.

I maybe haven't agreed with him always, but I sure as hell respect the man AND my goodness, what an amazing First Lady Michelle Obama has been.

I will miss this First Family.

[joshcryer]

18. A nice footnote to the past 8 years.

Nearly half of DUers don't give a shit about the STOU.

[Skittles]

19. no

I've had enough

[Johonny]

20. I typically read it instead.
