I'm not hip with the hop on politics. But I actually watched his speech and thought it wasn't bad at all. In fact I enjoyed it when the Republicans were just dumbfounded. You could tell they knew he was right about their, dare I say, childish behavior.
Also, normally the Republicans (or rather the party opposite to the current president's) boos during the State of the Union. I personally heard no booing.
Now what does that say?
The Republican Response was a little disappointing though. I didn't really see a point in it. Though that may just be my own ignorance to politics. What did you think of it, if you managed to watch it?
But anyway, personally? I found it terrible. He didn't respond to the speech, he just said some random speaking points, and his speech had absolutely no focus whatsoever, where as Obama had a point that he used to pull all his random talking points together. You could tell which of them had practiced and practiced, and which had made it up on the fly.
Maybe the station I was watching didn't focus on it or the sound wasn't picked up. That or I was cackling too loudly.
I can't believe my state voted for that guy. I am disappointed Virginia. Very disappointed. :| But at least we're kept as a swing state by it. That means we get more attention during election times, whether that's good or bad is another thing.
That aside, for that Republican's defense, I suppose it would be rather difficult to write a response to something that has yet to be said. At best they can just predict what will be said, but it's not always obvious. But it really was clear who was better with speeches. The Republican looked so stiff to me. It didn't feel very... reassuring being talked to by someone who was acting something like a statue. ... If that makes sense. Maybe I'm the only one who got that vibe.
