Sunshine Jesse Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 shrug I'm not going to disparage that. If people get to keep jobs and it isn't slowly destroying the world then I have no reason to complain. I mean coal miner jobs are killing the coal miners themselves but ayyyy whatever.

Delibirb Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Probably helps that he had a team of speech writers working for months on this one. I think there would be higher disapproval ratings if he rambled as much as usual. State of the Unions are easy. I'm not saying I disliked it, just that its success doesn't really prove anything.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Aren't we all killing ourselves slowly?https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/01/us/los-angeles-sal-castro-middle-school-shooting/index.html This is pretty devastating. 12 year old girl when and shot 4 other kids. No casualties. "It's okay for horribly unsafe conditions to vastly lower the life expectancy of an entire job field because this girl shot some people" I'm sorry but what? Also, casualties includes those injured, so I'm pretty sure there were more than zero. On topic: the speech was fine. Would have been happier about it had he not continued his trend of bragging about viewership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highest was bush 2.0 a while back.Not that it matters, but youtube and other sources weren't really a thing back when Bush did it. In all likelyhood he was the most viewed SOTU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla1ne Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 [spoiler=For those who may want a slightly shorter video] it cuts out the applause parts, and starts right at the speech, efficiency and all that. as for the speech itself, it was delivered well enough, but the impact of it comes from the actual events referenced, and the reactions of his most vocal opponents throughout said speech (winter's video has those images, mine cuts them out) trumps referencing of crackdowns on drug dealing rings, his attention to people who acted during tragedies, his avoidance of controversy, and his general 180 of attitude, was what made the speech that much more impressive. credit what you must to the writers, but as for his delivery, the man gets full marks. those small jabs at divisive events over the last year, such as the use of "all Americans" or his small poke at standing for the anthem, are all the more potent for their timing and delivery, the pointing out of his improvements, was a pleasant surprise, in that he remained actually humble throughout, and didn't stray far from the main narrative, it was something like watching the class clown give a 100% serious book report, and it was definitely worth watching fully, to get the full impact.
