There are only a few things that I disagree with in the SOTU speech. The part pertaining to abstinance is asinine. While it might be a solution to the problem it is in no way a workable solutioin. The speech was probably more partisan than it could have been but, it is an election year. He might as well preach to the choir because none of the Democrats are going to say anything other than the party line regardless of agreement or disagreement with what was said. Perhaps the steroid example was ill chosen but the point was not. The point being that professional athletes are, like it or not, role models that many look up to. He was merely saying it would really be cool if they set a good example rather than that that many of them portray on a daily basis. As Art said - he is my president and will get my full support. That doesn't mean I have to agree with him on some of his personal views.
PS - While many of you have mentioned Teddy's scowl did you catch the shit eating grin that popped out on Hillary's face when she realized she was on camera?
