President Barack Obama will lay out a strategy for getting around a divided Congress and boosting middle-class prosperity on Tuesday in a State of the Union speech that reflects some scaled-back legislative ambitions after a difficult year.
Obama will make clear in his 9 p.m. EST address that he is willing to bypass U.S. lawmakers and go it alone in some areas by announcing a series of executive actions that do not require congressional approval.
White House officials said Obama will announce new executive actions on retirement security and job training to help middle-class workers expand economic opportunity.
"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," Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said in an email to supporters sketching out the themes of the speech.
With three years left in office, Obama has effectively reduced for now his ambitions for grand legislative actions.

“I hope someone stands up and yells Were not going to have it!
and...”You’re only 33.3% of the government jackass, not the king, sit down and STFU!”
JRandom, I’ve given up trying to argue with the rino supporters. It’s no different than argueing with an obama robot. Except the robot has no excuse. It was programmed to believe as it does.
forthedec, you’ve done it now. You’ve pointed out one of Sarah’s flaws! Stand by!
The GOP should do the following:
Chant in unison: “If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Your insurance premiums will decrease $2500.”
Laugh and point at 0bama.
Walk out.
But no, they will just politely sit there like the good little Mensheviks they are, and watch the coup unfold.
The GOD-KING Obama don’ need no stinkin’ Constitution...
Just ask anyone in the gay-controlled US Media about this.
There is no way that this psychotic, delusional, narcissist thinks that he is going to give up his power at the end of his term. I don’t how they will do it, but they will try. And there will be noone to stop them! Mark my words. It will happen!
Republicans have acquiesced in Obama assuming dictatorial powers. They are scum.
Ive given up trying to argue with the rino supporters.
No reasoning with them because the GOP is their hobby. Some people like model trains. They like the GOP and invest their time in it. Some of these folks just can’t wait to defend amnesty as long as it is DBR (Done By Republicans).
The Party is now ascendant over the Constitution. Anyone who applauds Backdoor Bath House in his two-fisted grab should swing from a lamp post. Literally.
“If The One makes dictator talk, Pubs should walk out. But they wont.”
you’re correct that they won’t, its all one big happy family. why would a republican who has been invited to share in the gluttony turn on the hands that are feeding him.
There is no way that this psychotic, delusional, narcissist thinks that he is going to give up his power at the end of his term.
He doesn’t intend to. He already said he will live in Washington after he leaves the White Hut.
We will have 2 POTUS if the GOP wins in 2016.
There is a terrible constitutional crisis looming here and the GOP ignoring it only makes it worse. They should have engaged him directly long ago about respecting his constitutional role. But the GOP is run by careerist cowards and that will never happen.
Ummm. OK.
Yeah, that's the THEORY, from over 200 years ago. Today, those statements are a joke.
And those apply to today...just exactly How?
Who is there to be our Champion for We the People?
A piece of paper? Really?
I stand by what I said earlier today...
I’d tolerate a military move on the cabal tonight.
He is not a King George. He is a French Louis - “L’État, c’est moi.”
Salvador Allende of the USA.
Good idea. There certainly won't be anything else on TV other than the "I'm taking over the country" speech.
Agree 100%.
It is amazing how many conservatives will let themselves get deceived by words and ignore the actual deeds.
And there is also a strong feminist undercurrent in the Palin movement as well such as her constant nonsense about the 'Momma Grizzly's;
