His statements were so rambling and petty, and the same old "Everything is Fine" fraud was too much to put up with.
After five minutes, I turned off the TV and focused on something else. Watching Spanish soap operas or reruns of the Simpsons would be more engaging and fun.
The President truly lives in Fantasy Land. He is more divorced from reality than any modern leaders I know of. And the press continuously claimed that George W. Bush had a tin ear on everything.
Check out what the Republicans had to say about the Final SOTU:
Donald Trump:
The #SOTU speech is really boring, slow, lethargic – very hard to watch!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2016
I did not bother to watch. I wish Trump had said to the President: "You're fired!"
Jeb Bush had something noteworthy to report:
The State of the Union: less secure than the day @POTUS took office. His legacy will be leading from behind. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/MZFxuXyBAr
— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) January 13, 2016
Obama's legacy will always be behind, just like Jeb.

We need a strong conservative who can win because we don’t need 4 or 8 more years of these policies. https://t.co/3D8N0ljTlM #SOTU

Yes, Yes, Yes!
America needs a real commander-in-chief and a president who will keep us safe. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/kkdS8RMNzM

Safety is important to people. Most liberals will vote for a Republican President because they want a strong commander-in-chief. Democratic Presidents have routinely failed at commandeering a strong image abroad against global threats.
President Obama once again proved that he is a politician, not a leader. https://t.co/xomHZTrnoq

Yes, Carly, there is a difference.
Seven years of progress. We need to build on it—not go backwards. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/LlLjQi2AS4

What progress? The magic word works its way into every Democratic talking point. "I'm a progressive … who gets things done!" Yes, like hiding criminal activities and covering up for an abusive, sexually predatory husband.
Tonight’s speech was important. The president reminded us not to be afraid of change, but to wield it to improve the lives of all Americans.

My thoughts? The hope and change I am looking for starts now, with January 21, 2017 setting a sea change for the better.
