State of the Union
With the state of the union address on Wednesday. A few issues I have with the address come to mind. I have watched them in the past and I have made some observations; for one, it is clear that this is nothing more than a political pep rally, with all of the pausing for standing in clapping, I have a hard time even knowing what the president is talking about because of all the interruptions. I understand that this is an important event and is a necessary because it is an opportunity for the President to talk to the nation. But I wonder, should the clapping be limited, in addition, what kind of things will George W. be speaking about on Wednesday? Any opinions would be interesting for me to hear.

I have to agree with you here. I definately think that they are a political pep rally, as you put it. There are way too many pauses during the speech. After every comment the president makes, people stand and clap. I think that it is really hard to understand what the president is trying to get across with all the pauses. They are also hard to follow because when the president gets going on a topic, a clapping pause has to come in the middle of it. So to answer your question, I do think the clapping should be limited during the speech.
I agree that the clapping during the State of the Union does get excessive, but it is very important for the President to be able to talk to the nation. If you have the patience to put up with all the clapping, it can be beneficial for people to listen to what the president is saying, and what the agenda will be in the upcoming year. This State of the Union is especially important because it is the first one of the president's second term, so he will be outlining the agenda for not only the next year, but for the next four.
