OOPS! on edit...I guess he did one in 01. Mea culpa. Damn, I hate it when that happens.

[WilliamPitt]

9. But it'll be six after tonight, right?

[karlrschneider]

[muntrv]

5. 6. From 2001-2006.

[Cush]

6. think its 6 (including tonight)

i don't think they give one just after they take office (unless they're re-elected)

[senseandsensibility]

10. KO just said it was his

sixth.

[TomInTib]

12. Yeah, 2001 was his "Budget" SotU speech

When he went on and on about tax cuts.

17. CNN earlier showed a graphic analysis of his approval

rating versus the year of his pROTUS speeches, and they were a constant downward spiral! Apparently no other President has had this distinction.

19. Yup, this will be #6. The Daily Show did a "look back..." last night.

...and he said almost the exact same crap every year. Here are links to the video from last night:

State of the Union IV -- On Tuesday, the State of the Union will match up two bitter rivals: the President and words.
