I hate the State of the Union address. Don’t care who’s president. Not going to watch.
There may be somebody who want some to watch but can’t. So I’ll fill you in on what will happen. President walks in, people clap. Takes forever. President walks to podium and is introduced. More clapping. Takes forever.
President starts giving speech. If he says something his own party likes, half the room stands and claps like trained seals. Other half of the room sits on their hands like kids who just found out Santa isn’t real. This goes on repeatedly. Occasionally, the opposition party leader will hear something they like and the leader will clap, signaling the other opposition party members that it’s OK to clap, so long as it’s not too long or enthusiastically.
The theme will generally be “America is awesome and you’re lucky to have me.”
Just an educated guess. Maybe I’ll be wrong and somebody can correct me. Have a good evening.
