FOR THE FULL ARTICLE GO TO Cameron Harris: 3 Things To Watch For In Obama's State of the Union Address
Tuesday night, President Barack Obama is slated to give his annual State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. Politico reports that Obama will use his address to issue more challenges to a Republican Party that he sees as "vulnerable and divided." Here are 3 key issues and proposals to watch for in Tuesday night's address:
1. Infrastructure Projects
The President is expected to announce a new slate of infrastructure projects targeted at the nation's roads, bridges, and ports as an avenue towards jobs creation. Many have warned that such a proposal could see resistance from the House, but Obama and Democrats are expected to key on the Republican lawmakers who would not mind spending money to improve decaying bridges and aging roadways in their districts. Many close to the President have hinted that Obama will focus more on the middle class than he has in previous addresses and proposals. NBC reports that we should see from the President a "ramped-up progressive tone."
