2010 State of the Union Address (SIADD)

The 2010 State of the Union Address was given by United States President John McCain on January 27, 2010, to a joint session of Congress. It was aired on all the major networks starting at 9 PM ET. It was McCain's first State of the Union Address, though the president did give a non-State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress a month after taking office in 2009.

The speech was delivered on the floor of the United States House of Representatives in the United States Capitol. As always, the presiding officers of the Senate and the House of Representatives, Vice President Tim Pawlenty (as Senate President) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sat behind the president.

Among the topics that McCain covered in his speech were proposals for job creation, federal deficit reduction, change of structure of government in Washington, D.C. and foreign policy.

Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado delivered the Democratic response following the speech.
