--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every year it's the same: In the days leading up to the State of the Union, the phone rings off the hook with everyone trying to figure out what will be in the President's address.
We're now just four days out -- and the President wanted you to get the first preview of what this speech is all about. As always, he'll be working on it right up until game time, but three words sum up the President's message on Tuesday night: opportunity, action, and optimism.
The core idea is as American as they come: If you work hard and play by the rules, you should have the opportunity to succeed. Your ability to get ahead should be based on your hard work and ambition and who you want to be, not just the raw circumstance of who you are when you're born.
On Tuesday night, the President will lay out a set of real, concrete, practical proposals to grow the economy, strengthen the middle class, and empower all who hope to join it.
RSVP now and watch the enhanced State of the Union on WhiteHouse.gov this Tuesday night.
In this year of action, the President will seek out as many opportunities as possible to work with Congress in a bipartisan way. But when American jobs and livelihoods depend on getting something done, he will not wait for Congress.
President Obama has a pen and he has a phone, and he will use them to take executive action and enlist every American -- business owners and workers, mayors and state legislators, young people, veterans, and folks in communities from across the country -- in the project to restore opportunity for all.
It will be an optimistic speech. Thanks to the grit and determination of citizens like you, America has a hard-earned right to that optimism. Five years after the President inherited the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, our businesses have created more than eight million new jobs in the past 46 months, and they're primed to create more.
With some action on all our parts, we can help more jobseekers find work, and more working Americans find the economic security they deserve. That's why, in the week following the speech, President Obama will travel to communities across the country -- including Prince George’s County Maryland, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, and Nashville, before returning to the White House to outline new efforts to help the long-term unemployed.
You need to tune in on Tuesday -- because this is about you.

Haven’t watched since he insulted the Supreme Court. And if the line “inherited the worst...blah blah blah since the great depression...blah blah blah” was a drinking game, we’d have been long gone.
HE’s IN HIS 6TH FREAKING YEAR and he’s still using a tired line...and in my opinion, we haven’t come all that far no matter HOW many WS shills tell me it’s so. I haven’t head anything remotely positive or new from this guy. And I won’t be listening, either.
Traitors all of them
Who in their right mind would believe this lying sack of crap at this point?
Every time he opens his pie hole, he’s lying thru his teeth.
He is not one of us. There is nothing I want to hear from this Kenyan....or whatever he is. Its all a bunch of lies.
no it is the sheeple who cant get it through their head
Translation: "One can "work hard" ... never really achieve any results of have any success ... but if you have ambition and want to be something else -- ok! The government will help you by taking away from some other taxpayer to make your worthless government cheese-eating fat ass feel better."
53%. That's who. The dumbasses who re-elected this piece of crap.
Is this going to be another summer of recovery? I am still waiting for the last summer of recovery to start.
I won.
Soooooo... he's getting rid of affirmative action?
“If you work hard and play by the rules, you should have the opportunity to succeed”
But Barry is working hard through EO’s and regulations to make sure that never happens. Sucks to be you. :-)
“Err, uhh... yeah I kno what you thinkin... I’ve been President for 5 years now... But uh... but let me make one thing perfectly clear — it’s all Bush’s fault.”
” it’s all Bush’s fault.”
You think you are kidding...
Uh...
...what will THIS cost me??
Mr.Smith goes to Washington...
