State of the Union Bingo

Several people (meaning three, but that's a fair enough amount) have asked about State of the Union Bingo. Below is the list of the items we had on the bingo sheets. The ones in quotes had to be said exactly, the non-quotes are various odds and ends that are pretty self-explanatory. Most of the these were hit by the end of the speech (due to some serious research on my part I'll have you know: looking at older State of the Union addresses and what different analysts predict he'll speak about and such...it was not the most productive day I've ever worked), though some weren't and nobody got a blackout. It was a good way to spend an evening, and I intend to make it an annual event.
