George Will says the State of the Union is "overrated," calling the address a pep rally in which "every president, regardless of party, tries to stroke every erogenous zone in the electorate"

On “This Week with Christiane Amanpour,” ABC News’ George Will expressed his views on the State of the Union Address, describing the event as a pep rally "with the president's supporters or whatever party standing up and braying approval, and histrionic pouting on the part of the other, then it's no place for the judiciary, it's no place for the uniformed military, and it's no place for non-adolescent legislators.”
