State of the Union Address, Obama's 2012 campaign unofficially?

U.S. President Barack Obama urged Americans to "win the future" this week, while moving ahead in the effort to do that himself as well.

Obama delivered the State of the Union address, an annual constitutional obligation which has become an opportunity for the White House to praise its accomplishments and sketch-out its plans.

In that ritual speech to lawmakers, judges, ambassadors and guests, Obama advanced a range of initiatives but passed-over one crucial item on his personal agenda: beginning his campaign for re-election.
