State of the Union speech-What did you like or dislike?

I just wish we would have two separate events.

The first being an actual state of the union report as prescribed in the Constitution (A. 2 Sec 3)

The second a chance for the President to lay out his agenda.

The two are really not the same thing.

As an independent, I thought his speech was "ok".

It was a feel good speech and he talked pretty well on the topic of compromise and cooperation. I fear that the day after, all the congresscritters went back to fighting.
