But will the “news” media tell us if it gets the lowest ratings of any SOTU address?

Some will say it’s the best speech ever and John McCain will agree. They’ve probably got their comments already in hand.

Obama will open the SOTU speech tonight with three lies. “Ladies, gentlemen and fellow Americans”. There are no ladies or gentlemen in Washington DC, only political whores. And the dog eating Kenyan is not a true American.

Aww...don’t know if the mods want to move it to “breaking”, but I didn’t think another Obama speech was news. :)
