After watching Obama's State of the Union address, I was so bored that it would have been impossible for me to blog about some controversial thing that he said. The only reason people don't fall asleep is because they have to stand up and clap every 45 seconds to keep it interesting. So, with that in mind, I have a minor critique for Mr. President on his performance. About 5:37 into this mammoth of a speech, he mentioned that he had no more campaigns to run. A few smart butt republicans thought it would be funny to cheer. Not gonna lie, it was funny. In response, Obama kind of smirked and said "I know because I won both of them." Up until now, I had nothing I would change, but this is the moment where he should've simply dropped the mic and walked off the stage. No more words needed to be uttered. It was perfect. Just let those salty words sink into the wounds of sour republicans. It would have been the most remembered SOTU ever. Alas, it was not so. The president had to continue, and lose audience members by the minutes. Love or hate the speech, how awesome would it have been if he had done what I suggested? Just think about that.

Oh Eastmo, never a dull moment with you. (; I agree, there was an excessive amount of applause. I think it would've been pretty crazy and funny if he had done what you suggest. It would've added much more interest too. The speech had some very good points, and I was not entirely bored, but a "clever comeback and walk away" moment would've been unexpected and awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been a shorter workout for the audience who never workout as it is. If he had done that it may have even been remembered more than the fact that he has nearly doubled the national debt in his presidency. (mic dropped)

ReplyDeleteIf he had done that, this speech would have been the best in history. Honestly, it would probably be the main thing that the country would teach about him in 50 years, aside from being the first black president.
