Hopefully this will be his last one!
I fear it will be one of the most political addresses ever with President Obama taking every opportunity to bash Republicans and make this annual event into a campaign ad.
Hopefully he decides not to take this route and actually tell Congress the sorry state of this union 3 years after he took office. A budget that the Senate refuses to vote on, continued high employment and energy prices, the rising spector of inflation.

White House to miss budget deadline for third year
The White House told Congress on Monday that its budget will be late this year, meaning President Obama once again will miss the deadline set in law.
Congressional officials said the president now will send up his budget on Feb. 13, which is a week later than the usual date. The law requires the budget be sent by the first Monday in February.
Late budgets are common in the first year of a presidency, but this move, in Mr. Obama's fourth year, drew fire from Congress. Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, called it an "abdication of leadership." Mr. Obama missed the mark in 2009 and 2011, though he was on time with his 2010 budget.
"This will mark the third time in four years the president has missed his statutory requirement to present a budget on time, while trillion-dollar budget deficits continue to mount," Mr. Ryan, Wisconsin Republican, said.
Bush deserves to be blamed... Who else took a $300 Billion surplus and managed to turn it into a $Trillion deficit and the worst recession since the Depression of 1929, and started two unnecessary wars, and an unemployment rate of 750,000 month in only 8 years?
