SOTU revisited, revisited, revisited, ad infinitum...........a result of the 24/7 media and lately it has me sickened. Perhaps I just need to use that OFF button on the remote and listen to music while I read some excellent fiction and non-fiction that offers a personal selection for variety pleasing. And I do read a lot. And I like classical music, jazz and have a collection of tapes that I still use that I picked up in my international travels that offer ethnic music not often aired here. I especially like the male choir recordings from Galicia called the miner's chorus. Part of the reason I think is that being a geriatric senior widowed female it makes up for the loss of hearing male voice ranges unless playing music, other than the male members of the media, newscasters and other performers I mean.
- And maybe this is also why I love listening to our President. But today, the day after the speech, there is just too much dissecting and critique happening. Maybe because the media realizes this is their last chance to tear Obama apart since it is a second term SOTU and there won't be another by him. Sigh.
Because life is now so complex, of course there are many subjects for a President to cover, unlike back in Eisenhower or Roosevelt days. So there is much criticism of that, calling it a Christmas list instead of realizing what it really is, is comprehensive. The venom from the degraded Republican party is palpable.......they will be more obstructive this term than last IMO. I do not blame President Obama for taking it to the road and the people. Who wants to live in that poisonous political atmosphere of Congress?
