Welcome to United Liberty’s live-blog of the State of the Union address. Our coverage will begin around 8:30pm. President Barack Obama will begin his speech to the joint session of Congress around 9pm.

The talking points from the Obama Administration are already out. The president will talk up jobs and focus on the middle class and other play up other populist talking points. Obama will also make another push on health care “reform.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi was floating ideas today such as incremental changes in the system just to get something through Congress.

Interestingly, he’ll call for transparency in Washington. That’s a laugh considering his campaign promises to televise health care negoitions on C-SPAN (and C-SPAN has asked for sunlight on this as well).

And, if you enjoy the occasional adult beverage, here’s a drinking game you can play while watching (though Reason has a drinking game more geared for us libertarians).
