So that part made me unhappy.

Conspicuously, Hillary was either AWOL, not invited, or totally ignored.

Wonder which it is?

In her defense, it would be unusual for her to be at the SOTU since she's not in Congress. Though I'm sure she could have scored a ticket if she wanted one.

he has to promate tpp for the corporists but wants to move towards bernie's way on other things.

Biden may also be speaking for obama when he makes pro-bernie statements.

I have believed there isn't any love lost between obama and clintons.this makes me think i was right.
