Election themes to echo in State of the Union

Obama agenda to keep focus on economy, deficit

WASHINGTON — Reviving his populist reelection message, President Obama will press a politically-divided Congress to approve more tax increases and fewer spending cuts during a State of the Union address focused on stabilizing the middle class and repairing the still-wobbly economy.

The agenda Obama will outline Tuesday before a joint session of Congress will include more money for infrastructure, clean energy technologies, and manufacturing jobs, as well as expanding access to early childhood education.

The man is a joke.  7.9% unemployment, and he talks, and talks, and talks.....of course he has to raise taxes.  When that many people are not working, it cuts into the bucks the Feds have coming in.

The economy SHRANK last quarter, what a leader!  Oh, that must be those dirty republicans fault for not just doing what he says.  Or could it be that business recoiled in horror when he got reelected?
