His job is impossible.
It's an impossible job for anyone.
He's doing a lot better than I ever thought he would do. I'm impressed by that - and pretty much that alone. I thought he'd really, really suck - big time.
But he's really not. Sucking that is.
And considering the percieved priorties of the moment, which may or may not be our real needs - he seems to be addressing those in a planned and methodical way.
Thus his huge approval rating I would guess.
He's still far short of my ideal image of a US President. But then again - I don't think such a person exists.

His speach was almost exactly what I expected, as are so many State of the Union messages. The outline is obvious at the time of delivery if you watch the leaks in the weak prior.
I didn't expect anything more than what he provided.
BTW, no threads were started yet because most wanted to wait until he was finished to comment.

A non-american's view
<=== I'm english...so what the hell i was doing up at 2am listening on the radio to some texan trying to talk amongst all the clapping and cheering i dont know.
I'd never heard a State of the Union before and I thought it was a pretty good speech... designed to be very jingoistic with adequate pauses for cheering. I understand the importance of this particular speech (who in the western world wouldn't?) and think he did amazingly well...presidential, even.
And no "accentualising" or "stratificationism"... dontcha just love speech writers?
