So, I cannot comment on anything you said about the address, but I did have the fortune of seeing both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's reactions to it. On The Daily Show, Stewart showed the last line of the last seven State of the Union speeches, and they all were, "The state of the Union is strong" (with the exception of two: 1) "The state of the Union is <I>confident</I> and strong", 2) "The state of the Union is strong and will continue to grow stronger." Hmm...one would think an Ivy League grad would have a wider vocabulary (or that at least the person who writes his speeches would). I mean, yeah, the president has much more important responsibilities than giving the State of the Union address, but it would be cool if he could get a few eloquent words out every now and then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
