Obama spoke to the nation last night, but I didn't see it.
Obama habló a la nación anoche, pero yo no lo vi.
Can someone please tell me if this is correct?

Yes, that's the correct translation of your sentence in English.
However, shouldn't the sentence be "I didn't see him"? Actually, the sentence in Spanish wouldn't change... ;);)

Correct, although it is the same as in Spanish.
