4. The cartoon deals with how sound the State of the Union is.
5. The cartoon's message is that Obama doesn't really have anything to say about the State of the Union to convince people that is it is sound and stable because in reality it is not. Obama is trying to make it seem as if the State of the Union is sound by trying to ignore the problems that it has.
6. The cartoonist is from the point of view of the GOP and other people who believe Obama has nothing good to say about the State of the Union.
