It was nice, but he saved it for the end so people would remember the applause for someone else.

Remember Lenny Skutnik? He was the first person invited to the gallery for a SOTU by a president (Reagan) for an act of heroism. Reagan didn't wait for the end to introduce him; he did it in the middle and then moved onto the rest of his speech.

He finally shut up.

Now it is time for his minions in the MSM to tell us what he said and how wonderful it was.

“He really hasn’t said anything.”

Then you weren’t listening - he will use his pen to try to take your freedoms, including your guns, give pay raises using that pen, start new education programs using that pen, starts highway and roads work using his pen, and on and on.

“It’s Kagan who goes hunting with Scalia”

You are absolutely right. I got confused as to which short little shrimp it was he hunted with. It’s Kagan. However, I still think Sotomayor may be going rogue. Just a gut instinct that especially on religious issues, she will side with the Catholic contingency on the SCOTUS. Actually, it’s John Roberts that I don’t trust any further than I could throw him. Another little shrimp with a Napoleon complex.

The dog grew impatient before you did? That’s some dicipline. I’m sure the dog felt better after a good cleansing. Bob

First thing you learn when giving an effective speech is to keep it tight, and keep it as short as possible!!! No matter how good the speech is....if it goes more then 20-30 minutes....you have lost your audience. That is why Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address (one of the greatest speeches ever) with about 300 words in just a few minutes. This Obama guy is not wrapped too tight and he is far from the sharpest knife inn the drawer!!! He has got to go. His Democrat buddies should force him to resign or impeach him. Dems.....November, 2014 is coming on very quickly!!!
