I was watching “The Universe” on H2.

If it hadn’t been that I would have been watching Larry the cable guy sticking his arm up a cow’s butt.

I guess people knew intuitively there wouldn't be anything new. WTAM.com has a clip comparing soundbites, cliches, and examples from SOTU 2012, and SOTU 2011, and SOTU 2010...it's the same speech, right down to the phrases used to draw attention to things like college tuitions etc. Try the Wills page and podcast from this AM...it will amaze you how little interest this fraud has in the stuff he's spewing.

What the heck? People aren’t watching the president?

Are they watching re-runs of “Cake Boss” instead?

Or catching the latest adventures of Snooki and her crazy friends?????

[bksanders]

They can’t even cook the numbers to make this look good.
Sad case, these Dems.

[posterchild]

I watch it every year whether it’s delivered by a president I like or not.

My watching does not get recorded for these stats as I watched it on CSPAN - no screen clutter, spinning logos, talking heads making inane comments, etc.

Wow!

Who knew that America was home to 37,752,613 masochists?

I watched something on one of the documentary type channels. Can’t even remember what it was but I know it wasn’t a big a waste of time as watching the muslim from Kenya’s campaign event.

Well, I wasn’t one of ‘em. I still say Bohner should have turned off the cameras ...

[repentant_pundit]

Correct. More and more people are moonlighting as janitors now, so they couldn't watch.

[lacrew]

The thrill is gone.

There was a semi-interesting show about finding Amelia Earheart last night. It beat the blue blazes out of watching Old Yeller Head lie through his giant teeth.

That Should have read seeing Eye Dog. What a slip that was.

LOL What happened? Did you let your iDog write that post?
