President Obama will be addressing the nation tonight in his first State of the Union address. Lots to talk about – health care, the economy, terrorism – the list goes on. Be sure to tune in at 9pm EST on any major station and hear for yourself how he’s proposing to address these issues.
If you can’t watch it on tv, the White House has set up a live webstream and a free iPhone app to watch the speech. After the President’s speech begins, anyone will be able to submit a follow-up question directly to the President and vote on others on YouTube’s CitizenTube channel. Then next week, the President will answer questions in a special online event, live from the White House.
Watch, listen, react.

President Obama did a poor job, all he could done was blame Bush. That isn’t what a leader is.
What a great speech from President Obama! He outlined all important issues and reminded once again that government is supposed to govern not block every bill just to get the popular vote or money to sponsor next campaign. Go Obama!
It’s the same rederick as always, a bloated speech with nothing to back it up. Obama just does what he does, going around giving speeches, like he is talking down to everyone. He then tries to tell us how we feel about the government which wasn’t even close. He claims to be on our side but says nothing about all the elected officials of our country that wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars to attend Copenhagen summit and they never actually attended. A summit that wants to tax mostly the American people for greenhouse gases that were just proven to have been greatly exagerated. The last time I looked America was the number one pollution reducer in the world, and about the only country trying to stop pollution. Yet we are the bad guys. And these are the type of people Obama gives credit to. He is still way to soft on terrorism, who cares if they get tortured or have rights when all they want to do is kill all of us. Then only
“Change” he wants is the death of the “American Dream”. Capitalism is not our enemy, only rediculous policies. Our government couldn’t even help a little country like Haiti with their healthcare needs or even basic survival needs what makes us think that a government run healthcare system will save money and be any better than the DMV, workers with no real motivation. Obama – great talker, good intentions, bad ideas.
People in this country don’t care to, and quite frankly have gotten used to, and even expect to “not hear truth”.
“Truth to power” is a message that very few leaders will ever utter, as their own position can/will be jeopardized.
President Obama spoke it and I salute him!
Unfortunately, actions speak louder then words. No one is doubting Obama’s oratory abilities but his actions run contrary to his words.
As government expands, liberty dies.
