ABC News and Yahoo News offer live analysis and commentary of the President's State of the Union address, which starts at 9 p.m. ET.

President Obama has spent the past three months railing against a "do-nothing Congress," and tonight he has the opportunity to deliver his message face to face.

President Barack Obama tonight presents an argument for his presidency and a second term with a State of the Union address that will outline a sweeping vision for American exceptionalism sustained by an economy rooted in "fairness."

Obama will use his third State of the Union Address to promote what aides describe as a populist economic agenda he's already spent weeks pitching directly to voters, insisting the ideas deserve bipartisan support. Now, in the face of what he's framed as Republican obstruction, Obama will draw an election-year line in the sand.
