What I found most striking about President Barack Obama&#8217;s first &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; address before Congress on January 27 was what he didn&#8217;t say.

As Obama is the first US president of African heritage, I expected his 70-minute speech on the economy to highlight the special impact of the recession [...]]]></description>
