POLITICS: THE STATE OF THE UNION RECAP + VIDEO

On Tuesday, President Barack Obama delivered his second State of the Union, speaking of the need to maintain America’s leadership in a rapidly changing world so that our economy remains competitive. In order to do so, the President, whose approval ratings are faring slightly better than this time last year, put forth a plan to help the U.S. win the future by “out-innovating, out-educating and out-building our global competition”.

The President began his speech by acknowledging the arguments from both sides of the political spectrum:

It’s no secret that those of us here tonight have had our differences over the last two years. The debates have been contentious; we have fought fiercely for our beliefs. And that’s a good thing. That’s what a robust democracy demands. That’s what helps set us apart as a nation.
