Questions for tonight's SOTU as you watch it: Do you feel represented?
Do you feel that your problems/ideals/situation/problems are being addressed?

Do you feel that there are people there tonight who truly understand represent you?

Are the things you are concerned about being addressed?

1. I feel like I felt when Bush gave it.
like not watching. Atleast this time the crowd might act like adults and just sit and listen.

2. This is a little more specific than your thread will turn out to be,

but, my congresswoman is in rehab, so I don't feel represented.

When she's there, I feel she represents us quite well.

5. Yes. I just watched Justices Sotomayor, Ginsburg, Kagan, Stevens, et al.
walk in.

There's more than one branch of government, you know.

8. No, I feel the corporations and big money
have bought off that will see to their interests are represented. The ones who have the concerns I have don't have money to buy off politicians so ... NO.
