Was it me, or was the State of the Union speech rather uninspiring, if not boring?
Granted, the talk on stopping earmarks sounded interesting and promising…although his veiled promise to use signing statements as part of his strategy to stop them sounded like an ominous way to achieve back-door legitimization of his favorite trick.
As for the rest…didn’t they seem to mostly be the same old unfulfilled proposals? (Well, with the exception of the monologue on the stimulus package, the substance of which isn’t particularly new.)
