On the day of his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama strides from the Oval Office along the Colonnade at the White House in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 25

As President Obama strolled from the Oval Office to lunch in the residence Tuesday afternoon, he gave his State of the Union speech a modest thumbs-up. “I think it’ll be OK,” he said when asked how his 9 p.m. speech is coming along. “I hope so, anyway.”

The President gave television anchors and other TV reporters an in-person preview of his State of the Union address this afternoon, hosting them for lunch at the White House. The pool reports that seen gathering at the White House were MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, ABC’s Diane Sawyer, NBC’s Brian Williams and ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
