President Obama said his last State of the Union address will include what he wants to accomplish his last year in office and the “big things” all Americans can do after he’s left the White House.

Obama’s chief of staff Denis McDonough tweeted Obama’s preview.

President Obama said he’ll discuss what he wants to accomplish in office and, “what we all need to do together in the years to come — the big things that will guarantee an even stronger, better, more prosperous America for our kids.”

“The America we believe in,” Obama said.

Obama’s State of the Union is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

  1. I can’t believe this will be Obama’s last STFU address! You’ve been a banner president. Long may you wave, brother.

  2. No matter who his successor is, I will miss him.

    Few people may think it now - but Obama - if he chooses - is going to be a factor in national politics for many decades - he will have the ability to hold sway & a sitting president will be wise to cultivate a working relationship with him.

  4. 1: Release Chinese Army hiding in underground tunnels across the USA.
    2: Take all the guns.
    3: Put all whites and all Christians in FEMA camps.

    What did I miss?

  5. Gonna be epic – Obama doesn’t over-promise.
