Why Isn't Tomorrow's Speech Called the State of the Union? |

I was looking forward to his first State of the Union speech.

long enough to have formed an opinion on the state of our union? Heh. I think that's the thinking, but it really is going to be a SOTU speech.
Has something to do with tradition?
Edit to add: SOTU is a constitutionally-required address, per m$nbc, but not in the first year. So, this is just a howdy do to Congress tomorrow. :D

This is something I obviously never paid attention to with other Presidents.
Now I know. :)
