Yippee! This is my first poll!

Let's hope I set it up right.

I'm taking a college course about American Government and our homework was to watch the State of the Union Address last night. I am just curious as to whether many people watch this.

Go ahead and give your opinions about it too.

Thanks

PS I loved the line about Americans being addicted to oil.

edited: damn it didnt' work, what happened to all those brilliant questions I made up?

Looks like you forgot to attach the poll! I didn't watch the address - I caught the two minute highlights on the news this morning and that was more than enough politics for me!

I watched on and off. I thought it was boring.

I noticed the part about him mentioning his "personal crisis" regarding the close friendship that has developed between his father and former president clinton. Thought that was funny. Hillary had an uncomfortable smile on her face when he said that, I don't think she lieks it much either.

W mentioned the friendship earlier too, in an interview. He squirmed and grinned self consciously when he said it.

I have a feeling both him and Hillary don't like it.

Watched it and played the State of the Union Drinking Game. http://www.drinkinggame.us/

Well, tried to at any rate, there were just too many drinks to be had and we ran out of 2 Buck Chuck.

Watched it with hubby....

It was on? I got to get off VJ more often

Hubby watched it, but I didnt.

I heard excerpts on the radio.

Terrorists

State of the Union is strong!

Didn't watch it for the first time in years, but they don't broadcast it in Germany.
I'm actually glad I didn't see it because every time I hear and/or see the POTUS my blood pressure gets way out of control and I start twitching. Considering that he talked about an issue I'm highly invested in (alternative energies and all conservation stuff), I probably would have destroyed the TV-set because of his grand plans to change "oil addiction" by 2025 but not now.
Sorry, I just can't help it...

there was a SOTU speech? hmm, oh well, I was busy fragging Horde online in the World of Warcraft.

If you cannot convince them, confuse them.

Bush had a big fat grin on his face, probably thinking he sounded very important and intelligent reading the words that a dozen other people had written for him.

There was nothing new in the speech. War on Terror - great, Terrorist Surveillance Program - wonderful

The "State of our union is strong" eh? That will be the one that doesn't have the massive ideological split down the middle. But then Bush et al seem to pander to like half the population and ignore the rest.

Hubster and I watched....

We all sat and watched it, as a family. We were all in agreement that, based on the last SOTU address, any promises he made to do anything wouldn't be forthcoming, just as they weren't in the last one.

The one thing he said that made me shoot coffee from my mouth was when he said that he wanted to see "consistency" in all government offices. Well.....................that will NEVER happen!

that was it..and oil companies are our friends....

thanks for the feedback, despite the fact that the poll was missing

Yeah, I watched. Until I fell asleep. Same speech, different day.

What is a POTUS?

President of the United States.

OMG! This is so funny. POTUS

I only started watching it cuz I thought the American Idol was going to be on. Boy was I wrong... It must have been one of the most boring things I've ever seen

What? The POTUS is not an "American Idol?"

Well I'm sure he would have done an even worse job at the AI auditions... It definitely would have been more interesting if Bush had sung through his speech plus they would have gotten him off the air sooner

awwww...sorry it didnt work....but NO...i didnt watch the State of the Union. I was having supper and didnt want to lose my appetite
