Lol holy gaffe batman. Anyway, I think I'm more interested in buzzword bingo tomorrow night than anything else.
While a tough year he did better than the previous President in his first year.After spending his first year failing to pass health care, I am eager to learn what is in store for us now. Will this be an echo of his previous address to Congress, or will he move on to other topics?
It makes sense to expect a rough rookie year at the job, having never governed anything before. Now we see him set the tone for things to come, we get to hear what he has learned this past year. Will the training wheels come off dear leader, or will his hubris sink him and his fellow Dems?
Obama said "big difference" between '10 and '94 is "me"
Good luck, you're going to need it.
Can't wait to see how cutting every expense, except for military expenses, will help keep jobs and the economy going.

Absolutely. There is nothing he'll say of merit I could not already have read in a thousand papers all over the net. It's just a waste of time; I'll watch Hulu or something.I have no intention of watching and don't much care what he says. This is no reflection on him because I have never watched a SoTU address - ever. They're pretty meaningless IMO.

. Most speeches are about talking about the issues of the issues. No one has the balls or the political clout to actually make the tough decisions.
Take NJ for instance - we're in debt and at the brink of insolvency. We know we have to tax people that will likely make people leave, including jobs and businesses. People have a problem with that but I don't. When reaching a equilibrium, things will have to shake and people will have to suffer. It's natural for people to want to wait for a catastrophic event to finally rationalize the cost of their own indecisions.
In short - we're fucked.
Go luck up Bush's State of The Union addresses. That will show you leadership and making the wrong decisions.
Before the attacks begin, just go watch them.
I hope you understand that one of the reasons why Detroit is such a disaster is that they followed the recipe you describe above.. Most speeches are about talking about the issues of the issues. No one has the balls or the political clout to actually make the tough decisions.

A city/state realizes that it needs more money for its bloated budgets so it raises taxes.
Since the poor pay little taxes to begin with they are the least effected by the tax increase. The rich and upper middle class though are hit the hardest, especially with progressive tax rates.
If taxes are raised too high the rich etc start to look for a way out and since they have money and often the ability to relocate they do so taking their money with them.
Afterwards the city/state is left without the tax revenue that these folks bring and just as important left without all the intangible benefits that the wealthy bring to a city or area.
