There’s no doubt that millions of people will want to tune into tonight’s State of the Union address, where President Obama will lay out his thoughts and plans for the nation for the world to see, hear and analyze. However, we realize that not all of you will be able to park yourselves in front of a TV tonight. So for those of you without access to a good ol’ picto-cube as Mr. Burns of The Simpsons would call it (here’s proof..), here’s a list of some websites where you can tune into tonight’s speech. Regardless of what site you use to watch tonight’s speech, which begins at 9 p.m. ET.
