Obama’s Non-SOTU SOTU, Thread 1
They’re not calling it a “State of the Union” speech, because tradition dictates that the first SOTU is given one year after a President’s inauguration. In everything but name, however, that’s what it is.
Here’s our first thread to live-blog, criticize, and perhaps even issue a rueful chuckle or two, as President Obama does his best to reassure America that we’re not all screwed up.
(These threads move fast — with the Ajax comment system, it’s a lot like a chat program. You have to stay on your toes to keep up, both logically and technologically. Think of it as push-ups for your brain.)
Oh, and registration is open for the next 15 minutes.
