So I think the three to four hour programming of the Obama show, including the pre-prep rally run up and the post prep rally republican response (which in itself is very childish) is a waste of time for the country.
I feel the state of the union rally is become nothing more a pep rally than anything else. The build up to tonight's event seems to be more than that of the oscars and some game shows.
He is not telling us anything and really it is not an important speech.
The history and importance of the speech by the president on the state of the union seems to be lost with the hype and rock star promotion that has gone on in the past 20 years. It isn't just Obama, but Reagan through Obama has had the same style of build up, less from a republican administration but a lot more from the democrat administration. Some are making out as a big deal that the SC justices won't be all there, and tonight they are praising those who helped "one of our own" during an "attack on the US government" - giffords.
