President Obama is having a bad run. Word is he's about to ask for a mulligan on his first year in office during tonight's State of the Union speech*. Obama is supposed to be the country's first pop culture and tech-savvy president, so why did the White House already re-schedule his speech not to interfere with the premiere of Lost, only to compound matters by scheduling it on the same day as Apple's unveiling of its possibly revolutionary new tablet device?
We know there's a good mix of tech and news junkies who read Creative Loafing and the Daily Loaf, so the question is this: Which State of the Union interests you more, Obama's address to the nation or Steve Jobs' address to the Apple-loving universe? Vote after the jump. BONUS: See pics of the new tablet (Thanks Engadget).
