Politics & Policy's Annotated State of the Union

Presidential State of the Union addresses, while important, can often be long, dense, and somewhat soporific. To remedy this situation, and to help cut through the clutter of the over hour-long speech President Obama delivered Tuesday, Politics & Policy has created an annotated version of the address. The speech is divided into topical subsections, each arranged in the order the President addressed them. To see a section of the speech, click on the section heading (e.g., "Industry"). To see the annotations, hover your cursor over the highlighted text. For more analysis of President Obama's State of the Union addresses, see our comparitive feature, Comparing Obama's State of the Union Addresses.
