I just heard and saw it.

Maybe it is my imagination, but I didn’t find a lot of enthusiasm from the audience. I think there were places Jorge thought the audience would applaud but didn’t.

I kind of thought it was a bomb. But maybe it is wishful and mean thinking on my part.

I got the same sense you did---the audience heard very little to cheer.

Probably because the President didn't say anything of substance.

I don't think it was your imagination.

Agree. The response did appear luke warm. What do you expect though - The speech is many years overdue and still lacking in any real plan for a remedy.

That pesky 'Guest Worker' plan? Lack of adequate funding for a real fence? etc., etc. Nothing really new here IMO.

You could practically hear the groan and feet shuffling when he said "Jobs Americans won't do".
