US citizens and politicians
and world leaders and media
will be closely watching what
president Obama says and how
he says it. This speech could be
a big issue for the next two years.
Democrats and Republicans are gearing up for a clash over what is likely to be a central theme of President Barack Obama's address to Congress on Tuesday: deficit reduction and spending cuts.
Obama, a Democrat, is scheduled to make his State of the Union address at 9 p.m. on Tuesday (0200 GMT on Wednesday), and the White House has signaled the president will focus his time primarily on the economy and U.S. fiscal woes.

Yah. I'll be listening for the expected, "It's not my fault. It's Bush's." So far, after two years, he hasn't taken real responsibility for anything. It appears that the mid-term election results are something Democrats believe will have never happened, -If they don't acknowledge their inept participation placing social agenda scoreboarding over running the country. AND being at minimum different than GW in execution after eight years of non-stop whining and telling the public how so much better they could do the job. In two years Obama hasn't even got his landmark health care bill, that was to put him in the history books, ironed out and his foreign policy has been from the GW textbook verbatim. The only real work this government has done is change the names and reword the talking points. Comes a time when you have to do a hell of a lot more than just blame the last guy or attempt to buy em off with a health care bill that beyond bloating the administration costs and enlarging the bureaucracy hasn't given the people anything more than they didn't have to pay for two years ago.
