Huge set piece. Outside. Titantron. Fireworks going off the top of the building. Confetti.

MAybe he did smell What The Barack is cooking.

On a non-partisan note, I thank that spectatcle was a big mistake. It only does more to feed the McCain advertising machine when it comes to painting Obvama as an out-of-touch elitist celebrity, and those ads have been very successful.

Obama needed to give a state of the union address, heavy on substance and not spectacle. He added a little more policy to his acceptance speech, but he should have done much more. I think he was overly negative about the plight of the American people as well. A lot of middle class won't want to hear how bad they're doing, especially if they're not doing all that bad.
