Pretty cool viewing option for the SOTU

Check it out: http://www.whitehouse.gov/state-of-the-union-2012

There's a "standard view" and an "enhanced view" that also includes charts & tables and other info. Pretty cool.

5. Nice

now if Obama's actions would just follow in the steps of his words - i mean we all know he gives a hell of a speech - then we'll be on the right track. finally. bookmarked.

6. Very smart

and very simple use of technology that will probably increase viewership and help drive home the what the Obama administration wants you to take away from SOTU.

12. very interesting

smart, scary, new and now permanent part of any stou to come. you cannot turn back from a broadcast like this. definitely can also be misused to "catapult the propaganda" as they say

7. Let's hope that becomes the new standard.

It's hard to get complex ideas across without some quantitative data. Without that, the listener is left with claims and counterclaims whose vaule can't be accurately judged in isolation.

13. I like it too!

Would love to see it be the new standard too!

9. That is awesome. I was hoping that they would use charts and graphs.

People remember that much more.

10. Obama to use hypno charts and zombie graphs to confuse Amerkuns. Must stop him!

It's just not fair, he shouldn't pick on the cognitively challenged fans of Fox and Freepdom.

I thought the WH would cover it so went there first. Glad I did! This will be awesome!

17. It really is great!

I have been watching and listening to the videos that are on there until the SOTU address and enjoying them a lot. The clips of the First Lady and Dr. Biden are wonderful as they traveled around in support of military families.

15. Have to say, this is impressively sophisticated

I'm enjoying all the intro videos prior to broadcast.
