Tonight will be the president’s State of the Union message. This will be President Obama’s last time to address the joint session of Congress and the American people in this constitutionally-mandated duty. The White House is saying that it will be a “non-traditional” speech, in which the president will reach out to the American people rather than the Republican-controlled House and Senate.
Watch it and comment on it here. I’m going to try doing so. Join me here at the Cranach blog at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
From Obama goes it alone in his last State of the Union – CNNPolitics.com:
The White House says President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday night will be non-traditional.
What that means: Obama will be talking about himself, not asking Congress for a long list of items he knows he’ll never get.
