Obama: Obama

Obama Dept: In his first State of the Union address since winning re-election, Obama conceded economic revival is an unfinished task, but he claimed clear progress and said he prepared to build on it as he embarks on four more years in office, according to CTV. Yet with unemployment persistently high and consumer confidence falling, the economy remains a vulnerability for Obama and could disrupt his plans for pursuing a broader agenda, including immigration overhaul, stricter gun laws and climate change legislation and wASHINGTON Uncompromising and politically emboldened, President Barack Obama urged a deeply divided Congress Tuesday night to embrace his plans to use government money to create jobs and strengthen the nation's middle class. He declared Republican ideas for reducing the deficit even worse than the unpalatable deals Washington had to stomach during his first term. We have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and we can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is strong, Obama said in an hour-long address to a joint session of Congress and a television audience of millions.
