4. Which Republican will have the most annoyed look on his face? ( like sucking a lemon)

5. How many times will we see Joe Biden jumping up and applauding wildly while John Boehner remains seated and does nothing except frown?

6. How many times will Obama's speech be interrupted for applause ( however tepid)? This "key indicator"will be talked about incessantly by the chattering class.

7. How many times will Obama say "I" during the speech?

8. Will he once again blame the "previous administration" for the nation's economic woes?

9. Will he actually accuse House Republicans of failing to work with him? ( and then decry the "high level of partisanship that exists.")

10. Will he tell the American people, at the end, that he hopes they'll enjoy the football game? ( big suck-up)

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

SCORE YOURSELF just for fun...and IN fun)

9-10 correct: means you're a regular Freeper, AND Rush listener
7-8 correct: means you often watch "The O'Reilly Factor"

1-2 correct: means you watch MSNBC 24/7
ZERO correct: means you're a BIG-TIME Obama supporter, likely SEIU member, and DU troll who got sidestracked on this thread..

I would love to see Boehner look at his watch a couple of times.

If I were watching.

Earth Hour 2011 is at the same time as Obama’s speech, so our TV will be off.

I suggest a drinking game where we knock one back every time he says "targeted" or "green".

I suspect that he has crossed off the line about Solyndra.

Stealing an idea from Rush several years ago...print and paste this headline on your TV while/IF you watch the TOTUS tonight:

Tax buried in Obama health-care plan will kill 43,000 jobs, warns economic report from medical equipment lobby

I will NOT play golf again until the unemployment rate is below 6%..

Guess the number of times he says:

I, ME, MY, WORKING FOLKS, MIDDLE CLASS FOLKS, PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, AS PRESIDENT I DID, PARTISAN POLITICS.
LET ME BE CLEAR, MOST OF YOU FOLKS, SOME OF YOU FOLKS,.

Will he talk long enough to overlap the kick off, and will the network cut to the game or stay with the speech?

WORKING FOLKS, MIDDLE CLASS FOLKS

He doesn’t even say it right. A true black man (and I am sure you have heard this from black clergy, etc.) say Working folk, Black folk, etc. NO “s”. He is speaking with his white half. Just say’n.

I actually wouldn’t applaud him at all, not even at his entrance, and here’s why.

The President deserves respect when he is speaking as a non-partisan HEAD OF STATE.

When he instead is speaking as a partisan HEAD OF GOVERNMENT, he deserves no more respect than Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi. Would I applaud THEM, at least when they were giving yet another bloviating “we need tax hikes and stimulus spending — again!” speech? No way.

49 if he keeps it to less than 9:30 minutes which is the same odds that he doesn’t mention the past POTUS!
Something more important who are you taking in the game? Like ZEROBAMA. I don’t root for either one.

Will any Democrats ( except for the members of the Black Caucus) STAND and applaud Obama's proposals.

I was thinking that any who didn't stand an applaud until they were exhausted might be purged.

It ain't speeches, and this applies to last night's debate. Did any of them commit hisself to eliminating this or that department? Heck, the only one who made a commitment was Ron who would eliminate air conditioning in Afghanistan! Whatta wunnerful political system we've got. Ain't it just purrfect?!

Gosh oh gee, the speech is the same time I give my dogs a bath. Guess I’m going to have to miss it, again.

For added fun, record the whole thing, then after you're nice and tipsy, watch it again in fast forward to see how much of his teleprompter head whipping back and forth you can handle before throwing up or falling over.
