I watched it. Also the rebuttal. The rebuttal was weak but then again I think every rebuttal seems weak, even the democrats. Maybe it's a consequence of being out of power.
SOTU speeches have been campaign rallies for a while now. Instant communication has made the original intent of the SOTU obsolete.
What did I think of his speech... picture your grandpa who you think is too old to drive. He wants to prove you wrong so he takes you on a drag race where he knocks over several mailboxes, small animals and occasionally clips a few people while outrunning the police. While he did win the race and did a few impressive things it doesn't quite convince me he's okay to drive. I think mostly it proved that he's willing to overdose on enough adderall and viagra to be effective at the job.
My favorite moment was when Jewish Space Laser started heckling him about the victim of an illegal immigrant, to say her name. Which he does but mispronounces it. I can't tell if he's trolling her or if he just mushmouthed it.
