== Sadly last night America had to take a break from watching "Bachelor" Sean gush about his emotional connection with multiple women before handing out a rose, or see Jillian Michaels scream at someone until they bounced their skull off a fast moving treadmill... ==

Instead President Obama dominated the airwaves when he delivered the State of the Union Address.
= [|Article II, Section 2] of the United States Constitution provides that the President "shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." =
