President Obama's Address to Congress


(Update: Video changed from live feed via Hulu to C-Span footage from YouTube YouTube at 8:30 am Pacific Time on 25 February.)

Tonight, in his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama will describe the current state of affairs in the United States and outline his vision for the future.

Some fun and exciting quotes to be on the lookout for:

While our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.

My budget does not attempt to solve every problem or address every issue. It reflects the stark reality of what we’ve inherited – a trillion dollar deficit, a financial crisis, and a costly recession.

Can't wait to see what he has in store for us. If nothing else, it should be a great speech. Also, hats off to his speechwriters for finishing it enough in advance that excerpts could be pre-released.

Let's hear your thoughts on Obama's speech....
