State of the Union Theme: Economic Unfairness
President Obama will deliver his State of the Union address tonight. It's theme is Economic Unfairness . (Update: Transcript here.)
"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,” he will continue. “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.
He'll remind us once again that in his view, this is not a Republican or a Democratic issue, but a U.S. issue. I hated that line in his 2008 campaign (no red states or blue states) and I doubt I'll like it much more tonight.
What’s at stake are not Democratic values or Republican values, but American values. We have to reclaim them.”
