President Barack Obama’s approval ratings will surely continue to drop if his State of the Union address is aired on Feb. 2—the same night that ABC’s “Lost” is set to premiere its sixth and final season. The White House is said to be deliberating between airing the President’s speech on Jan. 26 or Feb. 2. An official announcement is expected soon.

The State of the Union address is normally given in January, but the President may be postponing his speech to give democrats in Congress more time to work on their  health care bill. ABC has not commented on whether it would move the premiere, which it has been promoting relentlessly since November.

The country’s broke. Our kids are retarded. We’re all gonna die from the swine flu. That’s pretty much where we stand as a nation. The only thing I need to know on Feb. 2 is what happened to Juliette, Sawyer, Jack, and Kate at the Swan station.

Let’s hope for the best. In the meantime, enjoy Hurley in the following Mr. Cluck’s commercial:
