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.

Not voting is how we got the DICKTATOR AGAIN!! Purists are not lifting a hand to stop the DESTRUCTION and TAKEOVER of America......THANKS, Purists.
Sarah Palin would be my first choice.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) will deliver the Republican Address to the Nation. She will show the nation the Republicans have no war on women, which will be the siren call by the Hildebeast when she runs for President. Rodgers will be fantastic.
I will take the time to practice folding fitted sheets.
Exactly.
He is in a state of delusion.
Palin-the McCain lover?
I wonder if these purists are not infiltrators meant to divide and conquer the Republicans. If they are infiltrators, they are Communists. Communists work day and night to put forth their diabolical plots.
If you are anti-abortion, that is considered to be a ‘war on women’!
Glenn Beck comes to mind....he’s a Pied Piper for the PURISTS!!! A Child-like Pied Piper.
Just remember that whatever he says he will do is the opposite of what he will do.
Here's a clip from her column which I believe is syndicated.
"The addition of Podesta to the White House staff is indicative of the rotten management skill that got the president to where he is. Rather than replace the inept group around him, he has further complicated the White House hierarchy by adding Podesta to the mix. Is Valerie Jarrett going to give way to Podesta? I doubt it. President Obama is kidding himself if he thinks adding yet another “cc” to the e-mail chain and populating useless meetings with one more voice will turn things around. The move will, I strongly suspect, merely create another power base (“Podesta’s circle,” “Jarrett’s circle,” etc.) and reaffirm one of the most debilitating aspects of this presidency: No matter how badly you screw up, you never get fired. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is still there, although Jeff Zients was brought in to try to clean up some of her mess. Likewise, Podesta enters but Jarrett and Chief of Staff Denis McDonough remain. Moreover, the selection of Podesta, a left-wing ideologue whose idea of innovative thinking is an income-inequality screed, suggests the president, as he invariably does, is merely doubling down on his statism. This is not a president who really internalized the problems with big government, nor one interested in reaching out to the center. No, this president is now in a panic and rushing to his base, presumably to keep his approval ratings from sliding into the 30s."
See how they manipulate the language! Anti-abortion if you want to use the language to correctly describe it, is anti child killing. Who wants to be for child killing? For that reason, the call it choice. It is the manipulation of the language for the purpose of lying.
“That’s just the way things are now.”
Agreed, things have changed over the last 5 years.
It would be nice if there was more than two or three people in the legislative and judicial branches to denounce this. Unfortunately half of those in office now are cheerleading the current emperor and the other half have no credibility on the subject because they cheerleaded the previous emperor when he did it.
I won't vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, big-government candidate.
Look to yourself to find the problem and quit enabling liberal republicans.

Are we approaching Obama’s Ceausescu Moment?

It started with a single voice from the crowd, an old woman, shouting “you lie”. Then more, then more, till almost all the crowd was shouting for him to shut up.
Oddly, one of the points in his speech was a declared increase in the minimum wage.
I’ve been saying that for years...
Comrade Obamatollah still has many goals not yet achieved including the complete overthrow of the Constitution and the destruction of Israel.
