Exactly. While I'm one of the minority of folks who actually like most of the songs on WAN, the only song I can think of that would have to do something with Obama and the state of the union at all would be What's Left Of Me, though even that could be seen as a gerenal social commentary that's been current for the last couple of years.
Ok, maybe he also meant Because We Can and What About Now, but these are so general that it wouldn't have mattered which year to release them IMO...
