State of the Union Preview: "President Obama Wanted You to Know This"
The White House official website ^ | Jan 25, 2014 | Dan Pfeiffer

Posted on 01/25/2014 3:38:49 PM PST by Innovative

Ed. Note: Earlier today, Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer sent this message out to the White House email list. If you didn't get it, make sure you sign up for email updates.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

More threats from Mr. Resident in a State of Dooom Address to Congress?

I ‘ll pass. I watched his first address, but have passed on all of the others. I refuse to see a president threaten the other branches of government, and The People.

We need rid of Obama promptly, and Eric Holder also.

Yep. Like he works with Congress on the Keystone PIpeline?

That would create 20,000 jobs in the USA.

Obama is a fascist. A tyrant. A pox on him and his running dogs.

Looks like Boobamba's SOTU won't be mentioning Obamacare.

WHO CAN BLAME HIM? Boobamba's prolly scared stiff of the ear-splitting applause from lock-stepping Dems, clapping like maniacs, rising to their feet as one (like they had firecrackers under their a**es).

========================================================

Golly, I hope when she writes his SOTU speech, Valerie
omits references to Obamacare. Or-----disaster looms.

"And let me thank every Democrat, who---without exception
---voted for Obamacare---my historic signature legislation."

"Thank you Democrats for reminding every American in every district
that 'if they like their plan, they can keep their plan.' Nice work Democrats."

Forget the speech (cackle)-—I want to know what he bribed that “*itch” Michele with to get her to sit in the gallery and clap at his stupid remarks.

My guesses: new diamonds, a posh home in the Vineyard, trips abroad, 10-12 new staff to complement her current retinue of 24 gofers.

Also Valerie’s setting up a Michele PAC-—siphoning off govt money to finance Michele’s political ambitions.

“...He can’t get it through his head that he is NOT Emperor Obama....”

Unfortunately, my friend, as long as the GOP is terrified of their own shadow and refuses to do anything to stop him;

and as long as the SCOTUS is unwilling to bitch slap back into place...

and as long as law enforcement agencies and the military refuse to do anything to hold him accountable...

He IS.

Three words sum up my attitude toward the State of Disunion, disgusting, disaster and despotism.

So you say.

If they intend to do anything to stop this, they will walk out of the SOU tomorrow night when he says these kind of things.
