Hey, all --

On Tuesday, President Obama will deliver his fifth State of the Union address from the Capitol. He's taking the lead on his own remarks, but as his chief speechwriter, I've been spending the week helping him craft what he wants to say.

Today I took over the White House's Instagram account to give you a look inside the State of the Union process.

Take a look at some of today's photos:

Next Tuesday, President Obama will deliver his fifth State of the Union address to members of Congress and to the American people. Later that week, President Obama will take a virtual roadtrip across the country via Google+ Hangouts to discuss the issues and policies laid out in the speech with citizens joining from around the country.

Several other folks here are going to be giving you updates on preparations this week, too -- so stay tuned.

Thanks,

Cody

P.S. -- If you haven't already, say you're in for the 2014 State of the Union.
