I'll say this... the speech has quite a rhythm to it.

Say a upbeat sounding sentence, stop for applause.

Say another upbeat sounding sentence, stop for applause.

Give a sound bite that plays well with the conservative base, stand up and applause!

Repeat until finished?

Is this the new SOTU format for the 21st century? It's no Gettysburg Address, but I guess that it gets the job done. At this point, the speechwriters know that nobody is actually going to watch the whole thing anymore, so we might as well just break it up into 30 second soundbites for the news shows.

Some people here call that a great speech. The product of low expectations

He also want Americans not to have to leave the country for non traditional treatments which are not approved by current laws. What could go wrong?
