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

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)

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 suspect that he has crossed off the line about Solyndra.
What’s the over/under on #7?
Maybe around 49?
Will he talk long enough to overlap the kick off, and will the network cut to the game or stay with the speech?
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.
I was thinking that any who didn't stand an applaud until they were exhausted might be purged.

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.
Count how many WI or LA congressmen have on a team tie or pin.
All 193 speeches on one CD!
How many times will Obama say, “Let me be clear.” and then not be.
1. No. Most won’t actually be listening.
2. Nope, the Prez is going to be there which means it’s clamped down tighter.
3. Yes like the drones they are. Not exactly the party of individual courage, they.
4. Too many to apply any reasonably unsubjective tiebreaker
5. Twice. By the third time even Plugs will pick up on how wildly out of place it will look.
6. Twice, both by the Black Caucus
7. Assuming a 60 minute speech, no fewer than 80 times.
8. Repeatedly.
9. Repeatedly.
10. Yes.
