President's SOTUS

I watched the President’s SOTUS last night. My criticisms are the speech was too long with too many points. When you put that many talking points into a speech, it means each one gets less attention. I’d rather the speech be broken into parts and each delivered over a period of six weeks.

The man’s speaking skills are improving. He was unafraid to confront Democrats when they verbally tried to go a different way. That shows resolve on his part and makes me think he will do well with whomever he winds up debating during the campaign this year.

Although I applaud his defense of marriage, I’m unconvinced the constitution is the right way to go.

Perhaps I’ll download a copy of his speech and then parse it out point-by-point.

I would give the President and his speech a B+.
