The Leonard Lopate Show | Jan 24, 2011

New Yorker editor David Remnick looks back at President Obama’s previous addresses to Congress to see how much of Tuesday’s State of the Union address will serve as the blueprint for his legislative agenda. We’ll look back at last year’s State of the Union and his February 2009 address to Congress. Remnick’s book about President Obama, The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama, is out in paperback.
