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.
