State of the Union

Hello All, welcome back to our political blog...

Later this week, President Obama will give his 2nd State of the Union address. After his speech the pundits will have their say about the content and quality of the speech. Your assignment is to join that discussion:

1. Prior to the speech, what will be the focus of Pres. Obama speech? What is the "state" of the Union, how will Pres. Obama see the past and future? (do some fortune telling after researching)

2. After the speech, what caught your attention? What are the pundits saying about the speech (and the "state" of our country)?

3. Has Pres. Obama kept his promises? Or is it too soon to make those type of judgements?

4. What does the speech say is Pres. Obama's priorities? What is he plannning to do during his 2nd year in office?

Answer all or any of the questions...
