Obama to call for equal opportunity for all in State of the Union
Washington (CNN) - In what could be his final State of the Union address, President Barack Obama on Tuesday will call keeping alive the American dream "the defining issue of our time" and pledge to fight obstruction by congressional Republicans.
The speech to a joint sitting of Congress is an annual evening of political pageantry, but the stakes are higher this year with Obama's re-election on the line in November.

Let's hope that the Republicans can show the office of POTUS that it deserves. When Rep. What-his-face [sorry, his name escapes me at the moment] had shouted out, "You lie," you can hear his voice shouting it out several times before everyone suddenly fell silent and his was the lone voice. Play back the tapes. He had shouted it several times.
And just what is obama's vision of equal opportunity?
@ Rudy: When Senator Nelson shouted "you lie" during Obama's prior State of the Union speech, it was subsequently PROVEN CORRECT! Just for the record OK! Oh that's right, records don't matter to Obama Liberals do they? It's Bush and the evil wealthy's fault!
Since the GOP have no respect for the President, the office of the President or the American people, don't let them in to hear the SOTU speech.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday will call keeping alive the American dream "the defining issue of our time" and pledge to fight obstruction by congressional Republicans.

...and because he will never accept responsibility for his own programs that did not work he would be destined to repeat them with the same results. Except he will not get the opportunity. Mitt Romney is one of very few people with the capability to step up and clean up this mess of a neglected economy and stratospheric debt.
“A tax code that lets the Bush tax cuts expire and the wealthy pay more” I agree
Working 50 to 80 Hrs week , 9 full time employees paying more tax rate then Romney frustrating . TODAY one moment I thought sell the business go work for some one.
Less money more time with family then I thought 9 employees also my family
That was Joe (dumbo) Wilson from SC that shouted you lie. I called his office today and asked one of his aides to tell him to be quiet tonight-he has embarrased our state enough. We're blessed with some real geniuses down here! NOT!

Its amazing america still exists!!!!!!!
equal opportunity for ALL? Yep Boehner's right sounds UNAMERICAN to me!
Translation: Class Warfare!!! Hopefully, everyone will recognize Obama tactfully employ classic Saul Alinsky-style community organizing. "Divide The People" tactics tonight and playing on the Human weakness of envy. All for votes! Divide and conquer is his mission. The blueprint for seeding Socialism. Don't succumb to the flowery words folks! His agenda is apparent!
go get them prez, see you in the next 4 years
