I hate state of the union addresses from either side.   Complete waste of time.    It's only a speech which has no more credibility than a campaign promise.

The only thing I liked was that he menitioned renewable energy.   In 270 minutes of debate with Kerry, the topic of energy efficiency or renewable energy barely came up.    I am happy to see it back on the table.

Point of irony: I am the keynote speaker for Senator Bashams energy summit on Monday, and the keynote speaker for John Conyer's energy town hall.   I find that rather bizarre.   I plan on quoting Ronald Reagan in both speeches.
