Obama’s last State of the Union address President Barack Obama has delivered his eighth and final State of the Union address. He urged people not to fall for what he called election-year ‘rhetoric.’ He told Americans that “as frustration grows, there will be voices urging us to fall back into tribes, to scapegoat fellow citizens who don't look like us, or pray like us, or vote like we do, or share the same background.
