jesus christ


Date: January 12, 2016
Time: 9pm Eastern

Here's the speech: https://medium.com/@WhiteHouse/president-obama-s-2016-state-of-the-union-address-7c06300f9726

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkuxFwjsdTw

Why is my favorite TV show not on?

The US Constitution, Article II, Section 3 states, "He 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". Obama is doing this, for the last time, Tuesday night at 9pm.

Where can I watch this?

Turn on a TV. Go to any news or network channel.

But I don't even own a TV :smug: *clutches tote bag*

You can watch the stream here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/sotu

The PBS stream was great last year and featured crowd shots: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/watch-live-2016-state-of-the-union/

In case the official one doesn't work for whatever reason, these :yarr: ones usually do:

Who is giving the GOP response?

Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina. There will surely also be piles of responses from the GOP presidential candidates.

Who is the designated survivor?

Senate President Pro Tempore Orrin Hatch (R-UT). Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson is also not attending the speech.

Sorry racists! Even if you nuke the Capitol tonight, the President's still black.

Actually, Jeh Johnson is not the designated survivor, though he is not attending the speech tonight.

Senate President Pro Tempore Orrin Hatch (R-UT) is the designated survivor. Should Orrin somehow also simultaneously die along with everyone in the Capitol, Johnson would be President.
