I like how a few of you act like I don’t know what a “State of the Union” address is when it’s pretty clear that you guys don’t know what it is. The purpose of the SOTU is that a president must have a speech informing the nation how the U.S. is doing from the past year or so. Then he must discuss his plans and future goals on how he’s going to fix his problems and stuff. So it’s obvious, he’s gonna have to address all of his past controversies tonight like: Obamacare, NSA, Benghazi, etc.
Again, not sure if he will bring up Benghazi or not… I wouldn’t be surprised if he totally ignores Benghazi completely, though.
Once again, don’t be surprised if you see a lot of angry Republicans heckling him in the audience… they could all even walk out in the middle of the speech and I hope they do. I’m expecting Ted Cruz to react in some way.
Don’t be surprised if Obama gets a lot of boos instead of people clapping.
It’s obvious he’s going to be talking about himself most of the time instead of talking about how he’s going to fix America. All he’s gonna do is lie and bullshit you around. Will a lot of people tune in to watch? I’m feeling this will be the lowest rated SOTU in TV history.

The President doesn’t have to give a speech, and he does not have to address the Nation.
The so called “SOTU” is a requirement in the Constitution (Article 2, Section 3) that requires the president ” shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”
Before radio and TV, the President typically just submitted a written report to Congress.
There is no requirement for the President to give an actual speech, and there is no requirement that any media even has to broadcast it.
The term “State of the Union itself is not even an official term. FDR was the first to use that term. Before that it was often referred to as “The President’s Annual Message To Congress”.
