• Obama states the union

  Chris Campbell – January 28, 2010

  On Wednesday, Jan. 27, Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union Address for 2010.

  It’s relatively easy to understand the big to-do about new year’s celebrations: the previous year passes (in the form of an old man holding a huge clock that continually ticks away the moments of our lives) and the new year arrives (in the guise of a neonatal baby wearing a jaunty sash, bathing in confetti).
