State of the Union Scheduled

In case you missed this, the Obama Administration hadn't scheduled his first State of the Union (until today). They were hoping he could announce the passage of some sort of health care "reform." Of course, that isn't happening any time in the next few weeks. The President Obama went to Massachusetts where there is a huge battle for Senator Ted Kennedy's seat. Polls today suggest a Republican may win, although with Obama's appearance on Sunday, who knows what will happen.

But it was announced today that President Obama will deliver the State of the Union next week, giving up on having a signed health care bill in hand.

Hopefully he is listening to what is going on. People are more than a little frustrated that they don't even know what the Lords of the Senate and House are wrangling over in terms of health care "reform." Maybe he can use this speech to let us in on the negotiations.

The fact the Coakley v. Brown race in Massachusetts is so close should say something to the Administration...are you listening?
