'State of the Union' won't pre-empt LOST (whew!)

OK, Losties, we can all breathe a little easier now.

The White House has sent down official word that, whenever President Obama decides to give his requisite "State of the Union" speech, it won't be on Feb. 2 -- the evening that Lost's sixth and final season premieres on ABC.

See the EW.com newsflash for details.

So, as showrunner Damon Lindelof gleefully tweeted today: "OBAMA BACKED DOWN!!!! Groundhog Day is OURS!!!!!!! (God bless America.)"
