I’m actually quite surprised this is being reported by the MSM.

Even the 31 million number is not really accurate. Cause with the ratings services, one barfing and throwing up in the bathroom, is still counted as a viewer.

Didn’t watch it. From what I’ve read he was even more nasty and churlish than usual.

The State of the Scheme was predictable. Obama’s going to rule by diktat and the Republicans will do absolutely nothing about it.

I get very offended when somebody stands there looking me in the eyes and lies to me. Sorry, IMHO, only morons watched that freak show last night. Barry peed on their legs and told them it was raining.

The only reason I viewed even moments of the SOTU address, was a quick channel change from watching “The Bourne Legacy” on FX, and if I saw the Current Occupant was still speaking, I quickly returned to previous channel.

“The Bourne Legacy” was ever so much more relevant and interesting. I saw how a motorcycle could be ridden up stairs with two aboard, and how to ditch the bad guy in a fruit market.

I chose root canal.

I watched two minute with the sound off. Could not be more clear how contemptuous he is of the American people.
