Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address tomorrow night will take the populist economic rhetoric he’s been polishing over the past few months and use it to frame his re-election campaign.

“The speech will merge what he wants to say in the campaign with what he wants to do. He’s going to be, as Truman did, attacking Congress as the ‘do nothing Congress,’ and certainly it’s total dysfunctional,” said James Thurber, presidential historian at American University in Washington.

I am right with you there.

I watched it with the sound off and finally had to change the channel.

I was on the Hill.com site last year. They have their writers respond to your remarks live during the speech. They comment back to your every remark if you are civil.... I just couldn't take it last night.

I only watched a couple of minutes of it too.  I did happen to have it on when he said "we need to change in the executive branch" and all of the Republicans went nuts with cheers.
