When is Obama going to speak before Congress?

Just after the Inauguration, Gibbs said Obama would deliver a State of the Union-like address before a joint session in February. But I haven't heard anything about that since.

It might be a good chance to build public support for the stimulus bill.

POTUS address on Feb. 24
By JOSH GERSTEIN AND JOHN BRESNAHAN

Obama is scheduled to give a "presidential address to Congress" on Feb. 24 in the House chamber, according to congressional sources.

President Barack Obama is scheduled to give a "presidential address to Congress" -- which serves as an alternative to the traditional State of the Union address in a president's first year -- on Feb. 24 in the House chamber, according to congressional sources.

The White House had previously confirmed that the President had plans to address a joint session of Congress at some point in time, but had not announced a date for his visit to the Hill.
