State of the Union: A Review

The State of the Union speech was on at 6pm Pacific time this past week. That time is interesting to me the TV is usually still tuned to PBS following Dragon Tales. When the president came on, I was initially annoyed because it pre-empted the show that follows Dragon Tales.

Why can't Jim Lehrer be on?

I asked. Mommy explained that the president was on tonight. To which I replied:

Is Jim Lehrer the president?

Mommy explained that he wasn't. Based on how boring the speech was to me---it lacked the nice theme music to the Jim Lehrer News Hour for example---I suggested:

I wish Jim Lehrer were president.

Mommy agreed with this assessment.
