Waiting for Reality to Catch Up

Currently (see dateline) the President is telling the country in his State of the Union 2006 address just what he thinks is important for us to do, or how he plans to lead us into the rest of the 21st century. The blurbs on the news feeds came out an hour or more ago with major points of his address on the State of the Union. In effect he spoke before he spoke by releasing the text of his speech ahead of his speech. Not to be outdone, and simultaneously with the President, the "official" Democrat point of view was posted to the news feeds and it appeared a couple of hours before the POV would show up in real time. Which do you like best? Real time, or "Internet" time? Which mode is out of sync with our needs?
