Obama's State Of The Union In Five Minutes

Wednesday night began with the greatest of intentions. You were going to turn off your phone, whip out a notepad, and watch the entire State of the Union Address. It's important, as Americans, you know? Well-informed, reasoned opinions, and all that. But then, during a particularly long applause, you thought, I wonder what's on HBO, and isn't a new Millionaire Matchmaker on? Fortunately, New York Magazine has condensed President Obama's speech into five short minutes. This helpful video covers the major talking points and includes the most quotable lines from the 70-minute address. Now you can slide into conversations with the greatest of ease, and no one need know that you have the attention span of a five-year-old. [Amy Crocker]
