Obama Speech May Bump Lost

Sixth season's premiere might interfere with State of the Union

Republicans won't be the only ones rolling their eyes during Obama's State of the Union address: Lost fans are outraged about the news that the president's speech might take place February 2nd, during the show's Season 6 premiere. The New York Daily News reports that the address, which normally runs in late January and was set for the 26th, might be moved to allow for the ratification of the health-care bill. Fans took to Twitter to express their dismay. One fan tweeted, “Unless Obama tells us when Locke became possessed, we would rather watch LOST than the state of our union.” Time magazine’s TV critic went political with his pun, exclaiming that the news constituted a “Scheduling change I cannot believe in!”
