From the post Obama to address joint session of Congress Feb. 24:

President Barack Obama plans to address Congress for the first time on Feb. 24, five weeks after his inauguration.

White House officials say that Obama's speech to a joint session of the House and Senate will have the trappings of a State of the Union address, but it will not be considered one. His first State of the Union speech won't come until next January.

This is the Not Ready for State Of The Union Address. But Obama still wants the pageantry of one.

The gutter term is "circlejerk."

His first State of the Union speech won't come until next January.

So this year's State of the Union will be delivered in writing only? (It is a constitutional requirement donchaknow...)
