In an interview with NBC’s Today on the morning of his final State of the Union address, President Barack Obama told interviewer Matt Lauer that the United States didn’t face a single existential threat as his presidency approached its end. “It is sometimes important for people to step back and measure how far we’ve come,” Obama argued. “The economy right now is better than any other economy in the world by a significant margin. We remain the strongest nation on earth by far and there are no existential threats facing us.”

As it turns out, she wasn't merely napping---she was fighting back the effects of a fine California vino.
From TPM:
"The audience for the most part is awake because they're bobbing up and down all the time. And we sit there, stone faced, the sober judges," Ginsburg said. "But we're not, at least I was not, 100 percent sober." She explained that the justices have dinner together before the annual speech, which she said Scalia hadn't attended in several years, and that Justice Anthony Kennedy brought along a bottle of California wine that was just too good to resist. "I vowed this year -- just sparkling water, stay away from the wine -- but in the end the dinner was so delicious it needed wine to accompany it."Watch:

"Every day, we get thousands of letters and emails at the White House from Americans across the country, and every night, I read ten of them. They tell me about their hopes and their worries, their hardships and successes. They’re the Americans I’m working for every day, and this year, several of these letter writers will join me at the Capitol when I deliver my annual State of the Union address on Tuesday night."Their stories sound like anything a comms shop could dream up given 30 minutes and a pot of coffee, but they're effective nonetheless. With the help of a small business loan, their business exploded, and everyone got a wage increase! Our policies made paying back their student loans easier, and they didn't default! Watch:
They know Obama...
A field trip away from the asylum....
(Tell me when it's over)...
Just like the Rubio speech, a very good job. Unfortunately, I could not find it on a channel last night, so I didn't see it until this morning. ...
Instead of watching the Lincoln Of Our Time give his 573rd Gettysburg Address-like speech, I watched the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Trust me, I made the right choice. I did watch Marco Rubio, who gave a fine speech, and who took a sip of water during his speech...
Fight the Machine. Support Paul McKinley for Congress. Donate. Watch this Alternative SOTU speech, and spread it far and wide. More video....
Remind me again why I should watch. Also, I can't wait for the warm welcome Chief Justice Roberts gets this time, now that he cast the deciding vote in favor of Obamacare. Via NRO: Update: From RCP: The president’s speech, described by White House officials as an expansion...
