To bring back any marriage from the brink. they re happy people right there. they re talking. fox & friends hour two for a tuesday starting right now. the difference a year makes. state of the union coming up tonight, hours away. you got to be watching it here. when the president drafted the speech and approached the speech, he probably listed on one side all the differences between last year and this year. it is dramatic. yeah, and we found that paper and we re going to blow it up and show folks the differences. fantastic. would you like that? not the state of the union. the altered state of the union. so let s go back in the way back machine to look at one year ago today, vs. what the president faces today. all right. so the first thing, of course, is the make-up of the congress. specifically, the house. because back in january of 2010,
