THE PRESENCE OF HIS ABSENCE ADDS NOTHING:

What Did Obama Say in his State of the Union Address? (Paul A. Rahe, 1/28/10, Big Government)

The State of the Union Address that Barack Obama delivered last night bore little, if any, resemblance to the speech that, in my opinion, he should have delivered. The actual speech was, in fact, all too typical of the genre. It ran for an hour or more, and it consisted of an interminable laundry list of putative accomplishments and proposals. When, near the end, the President said, “I don’t quit,” I found myself thinking, “No, surely! But I very much wish you would.” In the course of an hour, I felt as if I had spent three weeks listening to the man. I very much doubt that I was alone.

He really should have mailed it in and gone on jury duty.
