Absolutely. Why would you think otherwise?

Whichever of the two parties is in office, the SOTU address has become little more than an opportunity to spin the negative, pander to their supporters (who smile and pat themselves on the back for having been so smart as to elect such a great pres) and lay blame for anything negative anywhere outside of their little circle.

Oh, and it's also a way to commandeer the airwaves for a pointed political message.
