Time to Replace State of the Union

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

"Forget regime change -- we need a tradition change.


The robotic applause and unearned standing ovations at
State of the Union speeches render them as phony as
our political conventions. Instead of a speech, how about
a State of the Union town hall meeting? Let a sitting
president listen and respond -- without looking at notes
-- to real questions from real Americans with real
concerns. That would be worth watching.

Bill Clinton would have loved to be part of such an
event. And the current White House resident would
hate it more than his father hated broccoli.
