Tonight Obama will give his second State of the Union Address and like a good citizen I will listen to him. While many will settle for hearing what our President says secondhand through CNN or FoxNews, I think there’s always value in hearing him directly (especially when he addresses the American people). Things are quite different than his last speech a year ago, perhaps the greatest being the shift in power in the House to a Republican majority. We will notice a different person sitting behind him as he gives his speech.
I found last years speech online and thought I would share it here if you wanted to check it out and compare it with tonight’s speech. I think its pretty interesting to compare the two in real-time.
Even more interesting to compare it with this one back in 1982…crazy how similar the themes are in 30 years…
