I can’t understand why anyone would sit through such ridiculous political theater. The media analysis before and afterwards is particularly grating. BTW I felt the same way when Bush and Clinton were giving these State of the Union speeches also.
You nailed it. I haven't watched a SOTU in years. They are a waste of time. The only time I regretted missing it was when someone or other said "liar". But I could watch the clip. :>)
It’s morphed into a cult like parade of propaganda like some twisted political academy awards extravaganza.
