9. I can never find worth in SoTU addresses.

I never find the SoTU worth watching. I'm not interested in what "should be." If Obama has a concrete plan for doing something with specifics, then I'll listen. That might bore the general audience, though. Plus, the frantic, extended clapping fits of the audience drive me crazy. Just shut up and let the man talk!

Every SoTU has at most 10 minutes of useful information. This isn't an attack on Obama - this is just the way SoTU speeches are, which is why I look for the recap after / at best use them for background noise until that President hits an interesting subject.
