Tonight was Barack Obama's final State of the Union Address.

Barack Obama spent several minutes pushing the global warming.
Obama spent no time talking about the US sailors being held hostage by Iran.

Tally: Climate Change: 5 mentions. Iranian Hostages: 0 mentions.

And, for the record, renewable energy consists of less than 7% of US energy consumption.

Why not mention in the State of the Union address the 10 sailors being held by Iran? WH senior official says: pic.twitter.com/MoCVsWiOo5
