This might sound like a stupid question, but what is the president supposed
to talk about in the State of the Union? and why?  I have often found in the
past that such talks are usually very superficial.  Maybe if a president
starts discussing his personal opinion, that might make those messages more
interesting.   I usually do not agree with anything Mr Reagan has to say, and
I didn't hear this particular State of the Union, so this is not a letter
of support or dissent, just an enquiry.
