Chris Langemeier of the Nebraska State Legislature (invited by Boehner) During his state of the Union Address President Obama mentioned the completed US withdrawal from Iraq, the return of some US troops from Afghanistan and the accomplishments against the Taliban and al-Qaeda including the deaths of Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki. Obama underscored Americas commitment to Israel, Americas determination to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and explained during his Arab Spring section the US position regarding the uprising in Syria by saying: "while it is ultimately up to the people of the region to decide their fate, we will advocate for those values that have served our own country so well. We will stand against violence and intimidation. We will stand for the rights and dignity of all human beings -- men and women; Christians, Muslims, and Jews. We will support policies that lead to strong and stable democracies and open markets, because tyranny is no match for liberty." The president discussed the economic situation in America before and after his Inauguration and said with respect to the Income inequality in the United States and the 2012 presidential election: "We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by. Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules." Obama reiterated his call for Congress to extend the payroll tax cut through the end of the year, a benefit to working-class families, urged Congress in his speech to make college more affordable and warned colleges and universities that they risk losing federal funding if they do not keep tuition costs down. The President called upon Congress to deny tax breaks to companies that outsource and provide a tax credit to companies that bring jobs back into the United States. He also called for better job training and education and proposed to use one half of the savings from the completed Iraq War and the winding down Afghanistan War for public-works projects and the other half for deficit reduction. Obama pushed Congress to make it easier for Americans to refinance their homes if their interest rates are above market rates, by using revenue from the administration's proposed fee on banks to help finance the initiative. During the speech, Obama announced the creation of a Unit on Mortgage Origination and Securitization Abuses, which will operate as part of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, to investigate misconduct that contributed to the subprime mortgage crisis. The unit will be headed by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. The president also proposed a new trade enforcement unit that would add to the number of government investigators pursuing unfair trade practices and that would be responsible for filing lawsuits against foreign countries, namely China. Obama also renewed his call for the institution of the Buffett Rule, whereby people making more than $1 million a year would pay a minimum effective tax rate of at least 30 percent in income taxes, and to let the high-end Bush-era tax cuts expire. With respect to the Buffet Rule The New York Times reported: "Mr. Obama would like the new tax to replace the alternative minimum tax, which was created decades ago to make sure that the richest taxpayers with plentiful deductions and credits did not avoid income taxes, but which now affects millions of Americans who are considered upper middle class." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_State_of_the_Union_Address

I think he have in him sometching out of comunists, even the longes walk beggins with first step, he can be this first step. Many small changes spread over time that wont be seen as a threat, can become one big, and you will land on the ground with gun aiming at you head. someone will say "You are a menace to society and need to be removed" only becouse you dont want to giveup results of your work to them, this is Socialism!

I almoust missed the point of tea party. 1.Socialism and Coumnism isn't a person, or country its ideology, that have some good points. 2.You know what is difference betwen Right and Left wing. Left wing say: massacre in school happend becouse psychopats have guns. Right wing will say, its becouse noone is allowed to have guns in school. There is one difference betwen this two. You cant take away guns from all psychopats, but you can give it to all teachers.

I am not an Obama fan but as Carter did he would have gotten the blame if the seal plan had gone wrong so he should get the credit for taking what was a big risk.

you guys are idiots, Obama didn't stop Osama he jut signed the fuckin paper for them to take him out. if you guys haven't seen our economy is in the worst state it has ever been in the past 30 fuckin years. shove that up your ass before you go saying "Obama is amazing" "Oh yea we love you Obama" all he did was study speeching tecniqs and read up some facts about America. He even Announced his “Withdrawal Plan” that leaves more troops in Afghanistan than when he started.
