However, I watched him today from the viewpoint of the underinformed (morons) majority who put him in office. Here's my assessment.....
Obama stands there backed up by middle class families, who look all folksy and not too poor or not too rich (and not too tall).
By contrast, Dork Speaker Boehner makes his Cliff pronouncements at a hallway podium with four or five House dorks like Cantor on each side of him, all studiously looking important and grim.
Obama at the podium craftily inserts all the Dem buzz words and phrases into his spiel...."students, granny, sick, low-income, high price of medical care, raise your taxes, etc." in his pronouncement.
Dork Minority Leader McConnell stands at podium before an empty Senate chamber looking like a little bespectacled inconsequential twerp.....and drones safe economic words that scarcely relate or make sense to the underinformed morons who aren't even watching.
Obama makes funnies during his content-less talk....but happily plays to the idiots behind, in front and out there in the vast TV wasteland.
Uberdorks Boehner and McConnell make no funnies and appear too up-tight to even crack a smile.
Need I go on?
Where are the GOP orators that should have been on TV right after Obama's vapid speech...going for his jugular?
Did you, like I, go back to what you were doing around the house or office with a sick, empty feeling that Obama got away with another crap speech.....and the GOP counter-attackers (if there are any) are all down in Nassau at this critical time soaking up sun and resting up for New Year's Eve?
(BTW, is there a Republican National Chairman any more....or is he down in Nassau, also? He seems to have vaporized after the election.
Love him or hate him, at least ole former chairman Haley Barbour would have been on the tube counterattacking in a New York minute).

The First lady and I wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.
