President Obama Gives State of the Union Tonight

The National speech begins at 8 p.m. Central Time.

President Barack Obama will give the annual State of the Union Address on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Central Time.

The President is expected to talk about immigration reform, income equality, gun control, but "his remarks are likely to prompt substantial discussion of what he can – and can’t – do to bypass Capitol Hill entirely" as Congress continues to spin its wheels, according to NBC.  

Viewing parties around the country may participate in a "State of the Union drinking game," where participants drink when the President says key phrases, such as "Let me be clear" or the camera shows people like the First Lady.
