Bush Should Phone in the SOTU, Like Clinton Did Her Concession
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_the_union#History">Jefferson to Wilson, it was sent in writing.

I think he should treat his remaining supporters the way Hillary treated hers in SC earlier this week, and ignore the rules of traditional public theater.

3. She didn't phone it in
She issued a atatement, then phoned Obama to congratulate him, then conceded and congratulated him in a public speech.

What more should she have done? An interpretive dance?

16. The speech was sad
Seemed like the audience couldn't muster up any enthusiasm.

12. Actually, he could do it legally.
An actual speech is not required for the SOTU. Presidents in the early days simply sent a letter to Congress.
