Campaign rhetoric heating up early. From the WSJ:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a potential 2012 candidate, called President Barack Obama “chicken” for failing to address “real issues” in his State of the Union address...

...Mr. Obama “swung and whiffed at one of the biggest challenges facing the country. He didn’t even address entitlement reform. I thought the State of the Union, in that regard, was abysmal.”
