reminder that WH pres pool reported that the
Theme of the State of the Union is: "The Great American Comeback."
The theme of the State of the Union is: "The Great American Comeback." In his address, the President will lay out a vision of relentless optimism. He will encourage Congress to work with him to continue to building an inclusive economy where the least well-off are making some of the fastest gains and where people of every background are finding new opportunities.
The President will expand on the themes he developed in his Davos speech earlier this month and put forward an agenda focused squarely on the needs of working families, addressing issues that affect American's quality of life and laying out solutions with can-do optimism in the face of unjustified pessimism we are hearing from some in Congress.
Now, I'll tell you about five areas -- you'll certainly hear about five issues, five buckets, you might say.
1) Blue-Collar Boom
2) Supporting & Promoting Working Families
3) Lowering the Cost of Healthcare for American Families
4) A Safe & Legal Immigration System
5) Protecting America’s National Security
