President Barack Obama used his State of the Union speech Tuesday night to set an optimistic tone for the rest of his presidency — but also to drop big hints about the fights that lie ahead.


He targeted lines at his Republican critics and talked about the “choices” ahead, a not-so-subtle suggestion that he’ll deal with the GOP Congress by making it tough for them to argue against his agenda — especially with a presidential election right around the corner. But he also had messages for his Democratic critics, especially the ones who oppose trade agreements and are appalled that that’s the one issue where he might be able to cut deals with the Republicans.

Here’s a guide to what Obama said in his speech and what he meant

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama's sixth turn at the State of the Union podium sparked a more positive reaction among speech-watchers than last year's address, according to a CNN/ORC instant poll, with 51% of Tuesday night's viewers reporting a very positive response to Obama's speech, up slightly from 44% in 2014.

George Will summed it all up, and for all his olive branches he squelched everything with his yeah and I won both of them remark. A masterful snow job.

After Republicans, who had sat on their hands all night cheered when he said he was not running anymore. Another exhibit of disrespect by the Republicans

Obama put them in their place

Yeah cause he was being so civil the whole night.

Republicans refused to stand up at the mention of all time low abortions

If there are fewer abortions, Republicans lose that wedge issue to rile their base.

They will only clap for zero abortions

The Top Five Takeaways From The #SOTU

RedState ^
Tonight the President delivered his State of the Union remarks. It was a grandiose speech with lofty ideals, delivered with all of the considerable rhetorical charms at his disposal, sure to go down in history as a prime exemplar of "how it's done." Wait .. hang on. I've just been informed that I was watching March of the Penguins. My bad. As it turns out, the President's speech was pretty humdrum and more than a little silly in places, delivered with all the contrived bluster of his considerable self-regard and gift for delusion. Eh, close enough. Nevertheless, in the spirit...

Obama calls for civility, then immediately taunts Republicans over his two presidential wins

The Washington Times ^
Obama spent much of Tuesday’s State of the Union calling for civility in politics — then taunted Republicans over his two election victories, after many of them applauded the looming end of his political career. Mr. Obama issued a broad call for “a better politics” that began with common principles, and said his agenda isn’t political, pointing out “I have no more campaigns to run." -- snip -- The applause was too much for Mr. Obama, who punctuated his declaration that his campaigns are over by saying, “I know, because I won both of them.” -- snip --

Equal work equal pay. If you take 4 weeks off of work for sick leave that isn't equal work. If you take time off work to take care of kids at home, regardless of your sex, that isn't equal work.

Ignorance isn't life threatening, but it proves one thing - it's endemic in the Obama Hater's Bigotry. FMLA has been in effect for two decades, but it does not apply to all.

SOTU Fact Check: Obama's Health Care Debt Bomb

Townhall.com ^
In his State of the Union Tuesday, President Obama claimed that Obamacare has helped cut the deficit by two thirds by slowing the rate of health care spending growth. Not only is this claim false, but Obamacare has created a deficit time bomb that will explode just as he is leaving office.Now it is true that the growth of health care spending has fallen during Obama's presidency. But that slowdown began not only before Obama passed Obamacare, but even before Obama took office. The reality is that larger economic factors, including the growth of cost-sharing health care plans, began slowing health care spending...
