POTUS vs GOP

Submitted by ub on

The lame duck that roared. The President's State of the Union speech is an outline of the last two years of his presidency and he appears determined to hold his own against resurgent GOP.

Obama is refusing to bend to the new Republican Congress, as he revealed his ambitious State of the Union agenda of Democratic priorities, including tax increases on the wealthy, education and child care help for the middle class.

Let the political fighting begin as POTUS' veto threats increase towards the Republican's priorities.
