@Ladyirish..I watched it and didn't hear any boos...if there were any, they were drowned out by the applause he kept getting...he'll always have haters but the main thing is that he put it out there that his plan consist of policies that both "Dems and Rep" have agreed to before...he said that about 50 times(well, not that much) so the public knows that when the Repubs block or complain about it, THEY will have some explaining to do...he called them out without being "in your face".....

I had a meeting last night so wasn't able to watch it. I did hear part of it on my way home though. What I heard was very good. I'm not very optimistic about the republicans cooperating though. Wish people could understand that the president can't get anything done without the Congress working with him.

It was on too early. I was still at work.

I read where he was booed at one point. I'm trying very hard to remember any other President whose opposition was rude enough to freely boo him or shout insults as the Repubs do to this President.
