You mean the feckless fool on the hill is a feckless fool? News to me.

Even if you made it only to the one-minute mark before being overcome with nausea and vomiting, are you still counted as a “viewer”? ;)

[vpintheak]

Blah blah blah from Oblahblah. I tortured myself for 2 minutes when it was on. 2 minutes of my life I won’t get back.

[CodeToad]

That, and a sucker for punishment!

[spokeshave]

Ha....I watched a few minutes...he was "Panning the Crowd" like crazy....

guess that's the teleprompters in use.

[Cowboy Bob]

So, less then 10% of the population saw it, although it was on all the networks?

I am certain they are including all the people walking through the nation's airports amongst the 31 million viewers.

Nobody cares what the faggot muslim in chief (FMIC) has to say.

[LMAO]

Americans have already made up their minds on how they feel about the Obama Presidency.

Glowing speeches and telling people “All is well” isn't going to work at this pint

YES, and that is the reason

I purposely ignored ALL channels that carried the SOTU.

[kaehurowing]

I’m surprised there were that many people who wasted their time.

plus the people institutionalized who were forced to watch, mental hospitals, old peoples homes, prisons, Hospices, morgues,

[RedHeeler]

What happened?

[r_barton]

Most people probably tuned in by accident saying, Where’s my regular show?

[repentant_pundit]

There will be some satisfaction in watching him try to excuse the new recession now hitting us.

He’ll try to blame “congress”, but like all his other garbage, he won’t fool any people who have brains.

[CARDINALRULES]

I watched 2 episodes of The Avengers I taped last weekend on Cozi.

Or I might have been watching Dr. Sandra Lee videos on Youtube at that time. I like seeing people get blackheads, cysts and other things removed. It relaxes me.

Well, for the morgues, at least, it could be justified as an orientation for future election days.
