One of the big reasons I didn't watch - that's getting old. It's time for the current administration (not just the President) to put on their big boy pants and quit whining.
I don't watch 100% of any State of the Union speech, but I'm not into pep rallies in the first place.
As for drinking games, drink every time Obama says "I". The last speech prior to last night, he said it 132 times.

^^^Ditto! I simply can't watch these regardless of who the President is. A complete waste of time.
BTW - he said "I" over 100 times last night. You would have gotten fairly well plastered if you simply had an ounce of your favorite alcoholic beverage per "I".

No but I did notice how "clean, articulate, light skinned" he was and also that he "didn't speak with a negro dialect".

He was freaking orange on all our channels. He looked like a bad spray tan it was so distracting.
And was there a reason Biden had on a purple tie and Pelosi was in a lavendar suit? Were they supporting a cause of some sort?
Although someone should let Pelosi know that lavendar in January really isn't an appropriate color.

I've read/heard all sorts of stupid theories on this "coordination" and speculation on "what purple means" today and I just don't understand why anyone would even care. Certainly there were bigger issues to focus on during last night's speech.

It only gets old to those who don't want to face the truth.

I agree. You can only blame the last guy for so long. Plus, the resesetion was caused by the housing market bust, which was caused by suburban sprawl (which is right of the manifesto).
I didn't watch this, I was the train back from finding a new place in a new state. I'm sleepy.
