From an undisclosed location outside of D.C., I will share my thoughts (like anyone actually cares) on the State of the Union speech that is upcoming this evening.
For starters, this may be the lamest event of the year. Politicos all week have been in almost near frenzied excitement over this speech. Why? We all know the current State of the Union. It isn’t like Obama is going to reveal state secrets or anything close to interesting.
As well, why does anyone care about this? This is nothing but a television show of government assembling in the same room for an hour to listen to the obvious. If my memory serves me well, nothing is accomplished by this speech. I could be wrong, but when has anything earth shattering ever happened in a State of the Union address?
Perhaps I’m cynical, but I see no reason to get excited over this trivial affair. I will instead attend a George Mason basketball game and delight in sports rather than watch Obama use nice rhetoric to describe the past year and the coming year.
A friend told me earlier today that he feels that he has to watch it to be a part of any discussions with fellow politicos tomorrow. Because everyone will be discussing it, he must be informed. I will not watch this and still be as informed.
