Most interesting thing to watch during the State of the Union address

    

    It is always awkward to sit behind the President at the State of the Union when you are in the opposition party.  Everyone is going to be watching to see your reaction to what the President is proposing.  Speaker McCarthy had to decide if he would sit stone-faced, applaud sitting down, or applaud standing up.  Would he applaud when Biden condemned the attack on the Capitol? Nope.  When Biden bragged about lowering the cost of insulin for Medicare recipients? Nope.  Support for Ukraine? Just applaud.  Buying American? Standing applause.   Members of his party seemed to wait to see what his reaction would be before deciding what they should do.

    Maybe it is time to just have the State of the Union just something that is sent up to Congress the way it used to be before it evolved into the circus it is now.
