Was it a speech for the ages? No. State of the union addresses rarely are.They're checklists, salted with rhetoric because speeches have to be. They're not written to be chiselled onto obelisks, but to serve a purpose. Barack Obama's was to put him on the side of the future and make the Republicans look stuck in the past.The world has changed, he kept saying.
