Last night’s SOTU was actually the least-watched in decades
Conservative Intel ^ | 1/29 | David Freddoso

In raw numerical terms, President Obama's State of the Union speech was watched by fewer people than any since Bill Clinton's last in 2000. But what percentage of your fellow Americans watched? I took the Nielsen cumulatives, released moments ago, and measured the number of viewers as a percentage of the population each year and found this:

Why would someone want to watch that?

On the contrary; let us heap praise and thank the freepers that did and reported in sparing us the dark display of a government and administration that wishes to eat our souls through lies and manipulation.

Matter of fact, since we can't raise a monument to those brave few, think I'll donate a few bucks in their names. Blessed are they.

;)

Haven’t watched ANY of Obama’s SOTU speeches. Heck, I didn’t even watch the last few of Bush’s SOTU speeches, after his big push for amnesty.

I did watch the sotu. To see what he wants to do to us.
Better to be warned than caught by surprise.
The MyIRA thing is pretty dangerous, but him being in the White Hut is dangerous as is.
Watched it knowing who he is and that he lies as easily as he breathes.

His support is slipping because of his horrible handling of just about everything and his lies about everything else.

“If the people come to believe that the government is no longer constrained by the laws then they will conclude that neither are they.”

Joe Wilson had it exactly right back in 2009. Obama Lies.

No need for me to listen to a single word the liar says.

No longer will I be constrained by the rules.

I was nice and cozy and warm for once...

The Everybody Loves Raymond reruns last night were hysterical classics.

Sadly...no Mavs game.

Perhaps it’s just that a lot of people watched it the way I did — on their computers — but the long-term trend is a bit alarming.

************************************

Not 'alarming' at all when the State of the Union has become a "performance" rather than a serious event. A written report to Congress and the American people would have more merit these days.

Last night I found a cable channel showing re-runs of the 1990 series “In Living Color.” I laughed my a** off watching the way the Wayan brothers (all black) made fun of Holder’s people and gay people. Homey the Clown is a dead ringer for Eric Holder. That was a close as I got to watching the SOU speech.

“Why would someone want to watch that?”

I wondered that myself. If I wanted to watch a freak show, I would have watched the old movie, “Freaks” or the bar scene from “Star Wars”.
