neither. donāt care for either. i prefer to spend my time thinking about Christ, or saying my rosary, or spending valuable time with my husband which is far more important than either of those things. Just my humble opinion. I do not live in the US,
I live in Canada, and even when the prime minister gives a speech i donāt bother watching it. iāve got far more valuable things to concentrate on than listening to a speech, or watching a show.

Marilena, I disagree with your post.
The Bible says we are to fear God and honor the king.
The Bible says we are to pray for our leaders.
Jesus said we are to give God what is due Him, and give Caesar what is due him.
As citizens of a country, we should honor our leaders and give them their proper due. I donāt think listening to a speech is āproper due,ā but caring about our country and working to make it better, and even praying for our leaders, requires becoming educated about the leaders and the issues, and that would include listening to the speeches.
Like I said in the American Idol thread, I sense some pride here. A Christian can offer every act in life to the Lord, including listening to a speech by their leader, or listening to an entertaining music show.
In case anyone wonders, I didnāt watch American Idol or listen to SOU. I was at a rehearsal for a teenage musical (Iām the accompanist). I tried to tape American Idol, but did something wrong and it didnāt tape. Oh, well. It just wasnāt a good evening for watching TV.
I did read the articles in the paper about the Presidentās speech and Iām reminded of the need to pray for our leaders and the situation in Iraq.

your most certainly welcome to disagree with me 
the reason why i do not watch the speeches is because they do not hold interest for me. i have seen to much politics in my life for it to be interesting to me anymore. to many lying politicians, to many broken promises, and so on and on and on. Here in Canada, the former prime minister promised to do away with the GST, and he never did.
i also disagree with the war in iraq, but that is not the reason why i did not watch Bushās speech. it just does not hold any interest to me. it does not mean i do not respect anyone, it means i just am not interested in what they have to say. politcs holds zero interest for me. i vote because i believe we have a right to vote, and i just donāt cast my ballot for anyone, i look into the party platform and during an election, i will watch some of the speeches, but that is about all the interest it holds for me.
people have a right to not want to see political speeches. if they were actually interesting perhaps it would hold my attention. i prefe rto give my full attention to God.i think He is far more important than a speech by anyone.
