I'd say +1 , but it really wouldn't be a boycott. One of my guiding principles is that, the way to tell if a politician is lying, is if he's talking. Therefore I never watch, or listen to speeches.

Plus I don't type fast enough for the chat room.

Hah!  Got to see my NCIS.  Even oBh knows not to mess with Gibbs.

Also read the whole speech on-line and was done before he was.   I understand there was a lot of rising to their feet and clapping by members of congress and supposedly a lot of TV veiwers.   If you couple oBh's speech with Thomas Sowells recent article.

Then you understand that at my house there was a lot of wailing and nashing of teeth.   Sowell calls it a"fatal trajectory."  I use an aeronautics term, "'coffin corner" referring to a flight configuration from which there is no recovery.

New Definition:  A president who doubles the national debt, then 7 days later say "we" have to  exercise fiscal responsibility and get the national debt under control.

I did not watch the dog and pony show. I watched Dirty Jobs and Wreckreation Nation. Much more informative.
