Last night, the President told Congress the State of the Union is "strong." He provided a list of positive changes over the past five years: 11 million new jobs, lower prices for gasoline, increased economic growth, decreased deficits — with the stock market up and health coverage for ten million uninsured people.
President Obama told Congress what every Democrat wanted to hear, but that's not the way Republicans describe the state of the union and — just last November -- they won control of Capitol Hill. The President isn't conceding. Last night, he threatened to veto four potential GOP challenges to his policies and actions. He also made the case for "middle class economics." Did he set the stage for bipartisanship — or next year's presidential campaign?
