President Obama will pledge in Tuesday nights State of the Union address to work with Congress where possible in forging an economy built to last. But he will warn his opponents that he will fight obstruction with action, and promise to oppose any effort to return to the very same policies that brought on this economic crisis in the first place, according to excerpts of the speech released by the White House.
The speech, to be delivered at 9 p.m., is the presidents third such address and comes amid a tumultuous Republican battle to see who will challenge his bid for a second term. Against that backdrop, Obama will remind Americans of the economic mess he inherited and which he blames on past policies.
No, we will not go back to an economy weakened by outsourcing, bad debt, and phony financial profit, he will state. Tonight, I want to speak about how we move forward, and lay out a blueprint for an economy thats built to last an economy built on American manufacturing, American energy, skills for American workers, and a renewal of American values.

“Please buy the premise that today is my very first day in office!”
The advantage of this over reach is that because it was implemented without congressional consent or authority, it can be undone just as easily, with the stroke of a pen on the next President’s first day.
He will have 3 months to identify all of the priorities to be implemented asap.
This is why many Americans prefer a Gingrich over a Romney who refuses to even call Obama a “socialist”.
A President Romney would be less likely to hold a former President Obama accountable for any legal wrong doing during such as ignoring the US Constitution.
A President Romney probably would not be nearly as quick at recognizing any wrong doing compared to someone like Gingrich who knows how the government is suppose to work.
He threw down the "gauntlet" long ago when he first announced he was running for president.
I reckon the "American Constitutionalists" decided to give up their principles and their Constitution rather than be called racists by the likes of Chrissy Mathews or Whoopi Goldberg..
Since then we have been letting a little blonde lady from Russia do all our fighting. So don't expect some army of patriots to come save you. Most are too busy serving in the Usurper's army.
LOL!
Wow, so Obama is going to refudiate the policies of Jim Johnson and Barney Frank. That's great.
What this means is that he plans to use the alphabet agencies to get unconstitutionally do what Congress will not.
They fiddle away while Rome burns....
So far I see two real fighters in the GOP: Gingrich and Palin.
Sure, many of the rest speak calmly of conservatives principles, but those two say what they'll do about it AND call out both parties on their dereliction of duty.
But Palin and Gingrich are fighters. They'll take a punch well and counter punch with the best.
When they lead with the right hook, it's lights out.
I just heard that part and screamed at the tv. Woke the dog to the point she barked. I cannot watch that jackass tonight.
I would like to see the entire Texas Republican delegation walk out.
There, better now.
Actually, there ARE a couple scenarios that'd cause me to renege on that,
and I bet each one of you could think of a couple of your own !
BAD DEBT, F-IN BAD DEBT, you have got to be joking.
The man has spent more in 3 years than Bush in 8.
I’m so sick of this crap which is put out by this administration.
Just came back in with a Scotch and water and turned the rooster fish off.
OK Freepers. I am betting he says “fair” 17 times. Any other bets?
I ain’t watching him at all. I wish I could ZOT him off the tv.
Good for you!!! We are not watching this traitor either!!! Any american citizen or voter that indulges this America destroyer, Barack Hussein “Muslim Brotherhood Adoree” Obama is not an american and never was!!! Boycott the Obama SOTU address this evening!!! We need millions of fellow Americans to reject this america hater and his bigoted wife, Michelle!!!
I can’t watch and never have watched him. But has anyone walked out or are they being obedient subjects?
I know most of our neighbors are not watching his show of stupidity either. I don’t want to see the SRM saying how good it was and will wait until Rush has his take on it, which will be close to my assessment. I can’t stand the rooster fish.
