Enjoy! We do it like this: On the left is what you see/hear on the TV. On the right is Your Corresponding Action. The only way to get though the Messiah's speech is by drinking heavily.

“This will not be easy.” — One sullen slurp.

“Challenging times.” — Try to drink from the side of your mouth without spilling.

“Bipartisan” or “bipartisanship.” — One shot, feel up somebody else’s girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse.

“Same old politics” and/or “politics as usual.” — Two quick gulps.

“Played by the rules.” — Ask somebody to get you another drink and then drink their drink while they’re in the kitchen.

“Recovery.” — One hit off your beverage. (You should have spares at hand.)

“Recovery.com” — Three drinks and punch anybody in the room who sort of looks like Biden.

“Resolve.” — Take a shot.

“Discipline.” — Take a very careful shot.

Camera stops on Hero Pilot “Andrew” Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III: Women and children take a drink, men go outside and have a smoke.

“Breaking ground.” — One manly gulp.

"Change.gov" -- Down a beer in one gulp.

“Infrastructure.” — Two sips and check the fridge for supplies.

Any mention of the Taliban: Put a “Burka” (pillowcase) over the heads of any women and gaily drink with your male friends.

“Aggressive action.” — Chug a beer or glass of wine.

Any variation of “best days are ahead.” — Finish all the booze in the house, weep.

I'm game for anything that involves booze.
