Probably the best State of the Union Address I’ve seen. President Obama delivers the 2012 State of the Union Address to Congress and the nation. Here are two videos one giving you a behind the scenes look at the process and the people involved in preparing the President to deliver the address to Congress.

Take a look inside the West Wing as the 2012 State of The Union Address is written

The President has been brainstorming with the speechwriters and huddling with the policy team. He’s come up with new ideas, rewritten language, and reordered pages. For President Obama, this isn’t simply an editing exercise. He’s invested in creating the State of the Union because he sees it as his opportunity to take his vision for the country to the American people directly.

Obama’s Spilled Milk joke. I have to disagree with David Jackson’s USA Today article that the joke was a hit and miss. With the majority of the audience (Republican) not moved or in total agreement with the content and vision of the future in the speech, it was a tense and tough crowd. I thought the funny corny joke helped lighten the mood and help break the tention in the crowd. I felt a different vibe after the joke. Thoughts?
