Holy shit - ten minutes into speech, Wall Street Journal already says "much of his speech"
Just got this email from the Wall Street Journal a mere ten minutes (or less) into the state of the union speech:

"In his first State of the Union address, President Barack Obama again pledged to change the way Washington works, after a bruising first year that saw his approval ratings drop and his ambitious agenda falter amid fierce partisanship.

With the U.S. economy struggling, the president devoted much of his address to Congress on how to lift the moribund U.S. job market. He asked lawmakers to act on health care and energy bills, and urged lawmakers to set aside Washington's divisive political atmosphere."

What the fuck?! He hasn't gotten to the health care, energy bulls, or an urging to lawmakers yet.

1. What do you expect from the Wall Street Urinal?
It sucked even before Murdoch bought it; now it sucks hard enough to bend light.
