First, Obama'll Deliver The State of the Nation to the Entire Nation. Next, He'll Speak to His Peeps

Politico reports that following his State of the Nation address (oracle that I am, I predict, it will amount, in a nutshell, to this: the state of the nation stinks--and it's all the Republicans' fault), Obama will speak directly to an organization after his own heart--Organizing For Action.

What's that? FYI, Discover the Networks describes it like this:
The formation of Organizing For Action (OFA) was announced on January 18, 2013 by First Lady Michelle Obama and OFA national chairman Jim Messina, who had served as President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign manager. OFA was created specifically to succeed Organizing for America, which itself had been formed as a successor to Obama For America—a key force in Obama's 2008 campaign. But whereas Organizing For America had been housed inside the Democratic National Committee (which in essence controlled it), Organizing For Action (OFA) was set up as a tax-exempt nonprofit group independent of the DNC; it was essentially a sitting president's re-election campaign that morphed, after the election, into a nonprofit issue-advocacy group dedicated to advancing his agendas—something for which there was no precedent in American politics.
That's our Barry for you--always setting precedents.
