President to Deliver State of the Union Tuesday [Poll]

Televisions across the country will be tuned in to watch President Barack Obama deliver the State of the Union Tuesday.

The White House has circulated talking points for President Barack Obama's expected State of the Union address Tuesday night, which is anticipated to highlight some of the accomplishments during his first term in office, according to news outlets.

Job creation and the end of the Iraq conflict apparently will be highlighted, according to the Huffington Post.

"The president believes this is a make or break moment for the middle class and those trying to reach it," according to the talking points on the Post's website. "What's at stake is the very survival of the basic American promise that if you work hard, you can do well enough to raise a family, own a home and put a little away for retirement."

Republican Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is expected to rebut the speech immediately following Obama's appearance, which is expected to start at 9 p.m., Jan. 24, 2012.

Certainly, the economy is on the mind of most Newtown residents. Will you be watching the speech? Let us know in the comments what you want to hear him talk about. Also, take the poll below and grade the president on his performance over the past four years.

I still have spots available for you to post a photo of your child (newborn - 4 years) on my votingRead More booth. This is a charitable fundraiser and 100% of the money raised from this year's contest goes to Newtown's First Responders and the My Sandy Hook Family Fund - the only charity that is giving every penny it collects to the 26 families who lost loved ones.

G, apparently you did not watch the Benghazi hearings recently on CSpan. I did, and the whistleRead More blowers made it abundantly clear that there was never any question that it was an "ATTACK" by terrorists, and had NOTHING to do with a "demonstration" over a lame video, as lied about by S. Rice, Obama and HRC! They concocted this story because the truth, that Al Qaeda is NOT "defeated" or neutralized, as O claimed, would have been inconvenient for the election. It is utterly reprehensible for a president to heartlessly leave our men behind, to send NO aid or support, if only to get the bodies out--and under other presidents and the military as it has always been--you "DON'T leave your fellow soldiers (or diplomats) behind!" O gave (or assented to) TWO orders to "Stand Down" and NOT fly in with aid from Tripoli or Sicily! And G, what is your opinion of a president who condones the TARGETING of conservatives, with thuggish, illegal tactics of INTIMIDATION by the IRS!?

Really? Your "blog" is a collection of "cut-and-pastes" from some otherRead More right-wing source? And you expect to be taken seriously? Time to grow up and form your own opinion, MAC. Have a nice weekend.
