President Obama will deliver the annual State of the Union address tonight on Capitol Hill. Danny Hernandez, the openly gay Latino intern credited with saving the life of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the Arizona shooting, will sit next to First Lady Michelle Obama as the Obamas’ special guest. During his speech, Obama is expected to advocate a centrist agenda that critics have compared to the Clinton-era approach of triangulation. However, Obama is not expected to endorse the recent calls by his deficit commission to raise the retirement age and reduce Social Security benefits.
