President Obama's State of the Union Address

Did you miss President Obama's State of Union address last night? Or do you want to hear it again, in its entirety, on an official government site? Then go to WhiteHouse.gov, where you can find both a written transcript of the State of the Union Address and a link to the video recording.

State of the Union messages to the Congress are required by Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, which states of the president that "He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information on the State of the Union."
