I think he delivered it much better than he did in the past. He didn't seem quite as nervous. What really bothers me, though, is the outright partisanship both at the floor of the House and in the post-State speeches by party leaders. The opposing party, who obviously wrote the speech before the State even took place, always attack the president for his stance. Can't they wait a day before the go on with their political agenda? Don't they agree with anything?? It's another flaw in our representative democracy: the two party system. There isn't such thing as friendly competition when the stakes are high. And, it's too bad.
