1. Yes, and it should give a full and accurate accounting of the mess we are in
It should be long and through. You can not expect people to support him in where he has to go unless he tells us just where we are now.

4. 'Sometimes,
especially in recent years, newly-inaugurated Presidents have delivered speeches to joint sessions of Congress only weeks into their respective terms, but these are not officially considered State of the Union addresses. The address is also most frequently used to outline the President's legislative proposals for the upcoming year. For these reasons, a State of the Union address is generally not given in years in which a new president is inaugurated.'
