WASHINGTON >> President Barack Obama's final State of the Union address will look backwards as well as forward.
The pomp and pageantry of the annual address in the House chamber will have a splash of the gauzy nostalgia that's a hallmark of the Obama political operation. Among the guests sitting in first lady Michelle Obama's box will be Edith Childs, an elderly woman from South Carolina who first introduced Obama to the "Fired Up! Ready to go!" chant that became ubiquitous during his 2008 campaign.
