Tonight at 9 PM, US President Barack Obama will deliver the annual State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress. He's expected to focus on the economy, proposing tax reform that would require the very rich to pay more taxes; initiatives that would create more manufacturing jobs in the US; and changes to the troubled residential mortgage market.
Because 2012 is also an election year, the address will also likely double as a campaign speech. Expect Obama to draw sharp contrasts between himself and Republican policies.
After the speech, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels will deliver the Republican Party's response.
10:55 PM: Cain calls on Obama to "stop the class warfare" and - vaguely - to have Obama's surrogates stop "the racial innuendos".
