THE 2015 STATE OF THE UNION
ADDRESSED TO THE FIRST JOINT SESSION OF THE 114TH CONGRESS
Bobby Jindal preview

NY Times preview
WASHINGTON — President Obama plans to use Tuesday night’s State of the Union address to call on Congress to pivot from an era of terror, war and recession to one of expanding economic opportunity, outlining a wide-ranging agenda intended to address income inequality and help working Americans.
“Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well, or will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates rising incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort?” Mr. Obama will say, according to excerpts from the speech distributed in advance.
Meeting a skeptical Congress on its own turf, Mr. Obama will press to capitalize on the economic recovery to achieve some of his long-held goals. He is expected to call on Republicans to work with him on potential areas of consensus, including a new push to approve far-reaching trade deals in Europe and Asia.
But the president will also use the annual prime-time address to sketch an activist vision for his final two years in office and to set the terms of a debate that will sharpen the distinctions between the two parties in advance of the 2016 elections.

Spoiler alert: The White House has already unveiled a lot of the programs Obama will call for in the speech, from new taxes on the wealthiest individuals, making community college free, faster Internet service, paid sick leave, cybersecurity and more in the days and weeks before the address.
Responses?
On Monday evening, after President Barack Obama lays out his vision for the next two years, the GOP will again triple down on its opposition to Obama’s proposals, offering political consumers four speech responses in two languages and on three different media platforms to choose from. They stretch from the party’s conservative wing to its Rand Paul wing, which tends to flap on its own.
Sen. Joni Ernst, a really, really conservative freshman from Iowa, will deliver the party’s official rebuttal to the SOTU speech. Then there’s the tea party response, delivered by Rep. Curt Clawson of Florida; his state colleague, Rep. Carlos Curbelo, will deliver the GOP response in Spanish. Finally, there’s Paul: the Kentucky senator and presidential hopeful, who announced he’ll rebut Obama’s speech, again, on his YouTube channel.
Four of them. Again.
Here's the drinking game for the address itself.

God bless you, God bless pig farmers, and God bless the United States of America.
