For everyone who wants to watch it (and I hope all of you do), the speech we have been waiting for is less than one hour away on television, radio, and the Internet. Live updates are at the NPR link above.

Naturally, two of the topics tonight are President Biden's Supreme Court nomination and sanctions on Russia. I did not look up the full list, but those two were confirmed (as if they needed to be).

As usual, I will also watch the post-speech rebuttal Will you?

BTW this is President Biden's first SOTU address; a legal technicality prevented his speech last year from being called that.

Have fun everyone!

I might watch it later on the White House web site but I prefer to read speech transcripts before watching any video.

Not impressed, but every so often something is said that is not too bad.

"Buy American products, support American made..."
Remember, when Republicans used to say that?

100 Billion investment from Intel to bring fabs here. Woohoo.

I still can't get over how sharp Biden comes across relative to the parody FOX tried to make him out to be.

Speech of his career, and it is excellent to this point! Great speech! Great delivery!
He is doing what needs to be done tonight. He is not an Obama or Reagan when it comes to speeches. But i did not hire Biden to be another Churchill.

Interesting enough, I must admit he sounds better when I'm listening, but not watching.

When multitasking and only listening, he sounds pretty sharp. But when I looked over, after maybe 15 minutes, I could then see his advanced age.

It was an interesting psychological effect!

Are you aware he has a speech impediment?

I stopped watching the SOTU speech years ago for that reason I find I can listen better without the distractions TV offers
