Obama speech tonight: 'We will rebuild.' Open thread.



In his 9 p.m. ET speech to Congress, President Barack Obama is expected to cast the nation's bleeding economy as a tangle of tough, neglected problems.

First Read: Excerpts of speech, guest list

Also this from White House website:

After hearing the President reference her school, the 110-year-old J.V. Martin Junior High School in South Carolina, in his first White House news conference, 8th-grader Ty’Sheoma Bethea wrote a letter pleading with lawmakers to address the dire situation the President described.

Tonight Ty’Sheoma will attend the President's first address to a joint session of Congress as a guest in First Lady Michelle Obama's box in the House of Representatives.

Leonard Abess Jr., a banker in Miami who shared $60 million in profits with his employees, will also attend, along with Geneva Lawson -- one of the recipients of Abess's generosity.

Have your say, folks!
