President Obama will map out the contours of his second-term agenda when he speaks to the nation in his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. In a speech meant to build on his second inaugural address — which was directed at the Democratic base and served as a bookend of sorts to his reelection campaign— Obama will put details on the far-reaching government agenda he hopes will become part of his legacy.
The economy will remain Topic A, and Obama’s speech is expected to warn of the danger automatic spending cuts known as the sequester pose to a slowly improving economy. At the same time, Obama will give due weight to other priorities such as immigration and gun control. Obama has newfound freedom to be more combative, not to mention left-leaning, because he doesn’t face reelection, but he simultaneously needs to define goals that are capable of attracting majority support.

Oh; I doubt it.
He'll say whatever he thinks will placate the chattering class; and then go on about his business.
Then 'America' should have voted differently!
Somene will tell me what he says. I cannot listen to this CS.
Never in our history has there been so many spineless, gutless, gonadless human waste gathered in one group, in my opinion!
Of course, the supine GOP will do neither. But as a dramatic statement, retiring from the chamber can’t be beaten.
The Democrats would of course act like Democrats in response, and receive the full support of the equally supine national media. It would be the time to make the ultimate political statement in response. I’d say something like this:
“The State of the Union is broken — not simply by failed policy but by the deliberate efforts of the far left wing, which has for years been waiting for just this chance to destroy the world’s greatest remaining bastion of freedom. There is still time to stop these people but it needs to be said: the dilapidated State of our Union is not an accident. It is the product of a long-held plan from the radical left, of which the current administration and the national media are both willing tools.”
Too bad there isn’t the political will out there to try either of the options we’ve discussed.
“Details...”
Unicorn crossing signs: that’s all I can think of... well, the Leprechauns aren’t unionized...
No need to expend much hot air: he could merely say, “I plan to follow in the footsteps of my hero, Lenin,” and that would suffice.
Too bad you aren’t writing that speech, wordsmith. :)
It would be powerful and to the point and honest.
But...politicians don’t seem to like that. Unfortunately...
Buckwheat and his neo-Nazi press whores think they’re in the cat bird’s seat. They’re not.
If it’s so dangerous why doesn’t someone ask the facist why he proposed it in the first place and signed it into law?
I don’t think we have much more to lose. We need to stand and fight.
