5:01 pm
no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the state of the union and according to the folks, it is not too good. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. rather than having me bloviate about the state of the union address tonight, let's take a look at the most recent poll about the u.s.a. that poll was conducted over the weekend by nbc news and the "wall street journal." first question: barack obama's job approval. 43% approve, 51% disapprove. 6% not sure. next, do you approve of congress? 13% approve. a whopping 81% of americans disapprove of congress. the same 6% are not sure. do you think the nation is generally heading in the right direction? 28% yes, 63% no. the poll goes on but the
5:02 pm
most telling answer from the folks is just 3% of americans believe the u.s.a. is a strong nation as it stands today. 3%. and so there is no question that president obama's first five years in office have been troubled. tonight, he will try to regroup. talking points believes few americans will be paying close attention to him. in fact, i predict that this broadcast, you are watching right now, will be higher rated on the fox news channel than the president's actual address. the only president who had lower poll numbers was bush the younger and that was because of the iraq war and hurricane torino. thus the obama administration has a lot of work to do. right now, according to the poll, americans are not believing or hoping in the president. but this country industry is a very resilient place and things can change fast. the u.s.a. remains the hope of the world. no other nation can fight
5:03 pm
worldwide terrorism as effectively as we can. no other nation will spend blood and treasure trying to give people liberty like we are doing in afghanistan right now. and generally speaking, no other nation has sacrificed so much fighting evil on this planet. so, if america becomes weak, the whole world is in trouble. next sunday i will do a live interview with president obama and i hope he will be candid because i have very important questions for him. i also hope the president will analyze the poll numbers we just gave you and, perhaps, try a new strategy. one final comment. when asked what the most important priority for the obama administration should be, the american people said loud and clear, creating jobs. 91 percent said that. next was reducing the federal budget deficit, 74%. so, with all due respect, i think the president should concentrate on those two
5:04 pm
areas in his last three years in office. this country needs a vibrant economy in order for people to pursue happiness and reach their potential. that should be the president's main concern tonight and for the next three years. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight, reaction first up, joining us from washington, marco rubio, the senator from florida. in your mind, senator, what is the biggest mistake that president obama is making? >> well, i think the biggest mistake is a lack of focus on robust economic growth and that's coupled with, of course, government that continues to spend more money than it has. and these two things, i think, are what is creating the state of the union now which is insecure. a growing number of americans are insecure about their economic future and the leading reason for that is our economy is not growing in a dynamic way. it's not creating enough of those middle income, middle class jobs that for so long have been the backbone of our country and what makes it special. >> but we have spent hundreds of billions of
5:05 pm
dollars in stimulus sending money to certain areas of the economy too try to create jobs and to try to get the economy in a growth mode. hasn't obama done what he should do in that area or hasn't he done enough or what? >> first of all, if you recall, when he first took office, his number one priority was not growth in the economy. he immediately to healthcare which has been a disastrous healthcare law and then a series of other issues that they prioritize. the other problem is what you outlined in your question. our economy grow swlus a vibrant free enterprise economy when the private sector creates jobs for people. right now, if you talk to people that create jobs, the businesses that create jobs. the free enterprise economy that creates jobs, they have no confidence in the future because of the debt. because of burdensome regulations, because of a tax code that makes america increasingly expensive to invest in and create jobs in. and he has not placed a priority on those issues.
5:06 pm
>> because he doesn't really believe in the private seq., i don't think. i mean, i could be wrong. he has never said that but he believes that the reason this horrible recession hit us and the reason he was elected was because the private sector got out of control and the banks and the financial people on wall street sold these terrible mortgages and created this ponzi scheme that got way, way out of control and the whole economy suffered and collapsed because of it. so i don't think the president believes the private sector is really a fair game. >> well, a couple points that you just raised right there, look, there is no doubt that there were visas visas-abuses on wall street that need to be addressed. disruptive to our economy. beyond that is a very fundamental formula. jobs are created when someone has access to money, whether it's borrowed or their own and they risk that money to start a business or to grow and expand an existing one. and in order to do that, you
5:07 pm
have to have confidence in the future. they do not have confidence in this administration because its prescriptions are always higher taxes and more government spending and regulations that make america a very uncertain place. >> okay. i think you are right. but i have one thing holding me back from total agreement with you. >> okay. >> that was front and center. front and center in the last election. mitt romney was the ultimate capitalist. the ultimate private sector man. yet, the people voted for the -- not anti-capitalist but the guy who wanted more government intrusion. so the american people made the call. they didn't want the robust private sector guy. why not? >> well, again, every election will have to be annualized. all sorts of factors that go into deciding what direction an election goes. at the end of the day there will be the love studies why that election went the way it did. here is my point. if the election were today,
5:08 pm
i think the outcome would be very different. because a combination of an erosion of trust in government, combined with a continued lackluster performance of our economy, we're now six years into this presidency, can you no longer continue to blame your predecessors for the things that are going wrong in our country. if the election were today, the outcome would be quite different. >> all the polls say that but, you know, he is still got a 43% approval rating, the president does, which under the pressure that the country is under, not that bad because nobody believes that only 3% believe the country is strong. 3%. i mean, it's incredible. >> it's deeper than that, bill. people are very insecure about the future. i agree with you, america is incredibly resilient country. we will be back. we will get this right. i just have no confidence that we will under the leadership of this administration. primarily because they do not understand or do not believe that free enterprise. a robust free enterprise economy is the best way to create upward mobility and
5:09 pm
prosperity for the largest number of people. >> all right, senator. we appreciate you coming on tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. next up two democratic senators and, later, charles krauthammer will weigh in on the state of the union. charles warming up. and the factor is coming right back. at panera bread,

5:13 pm
situation in 2009 when he came, in he knew that why didn't he accept the bowles-simpson approach all in approach bipartisan at that time. he could have taken it and claimed it as his own and ran with it. >> explain that to the voters -- viewers who can't recall bowles-simpson. >> you have to have a tax system that people believe in and think it's fair. they should not begrudge you or anyone else for doing well in life as long as they know you paid your share as you did it you didn't get extra breaks the higher the ladder you went. mobility lower end to the upper class. it's not available and it's not available and
5:14 pm
but what holds president obama back from that, as you well know, is the income inequality deal that he says look, the system isn't fair, it's stacked against the poor, and we, the from a will will government, have to take from the wealthy and distribute it to the poor to make it more fair. we have to do that in a variety of ways. >> health, education, direct entitlement payments and all of that balloons the debt and the deficit and inhibits private growth because you're taxing corporations and the wealthy people as much as you can can possibly tax them. what you are doing is taking the republican side to that. >> no, no i'm not, bill. basically we have a lot of very wealthy people that don't pay the percentages that the middle class or lower class people pay. >> loopholes on them.
5:15 pm
>> there you go. >> you don't have to raise the tax rate. >> you do not have to raise it. but that will bring in more revenue. my republican friends don't want any new revenue. they want to continue to drive it down to where it's basically negated. >> i agree with you. i think some of those particularly the overseas dodge with the big corporations. but you have got to bring the corporate rate down and -- >> -- absolutely. >> and close those loopholes. that's not the president's message. >> no. but that was the bowles-simpson approach. it was bipartisan. 11 votes. 6 democrats, five republicans. that is something he could have taken from his own commission he appointed and really massaged it to where it was all inclusive approach and he didn't do it. that was a big mix. >> guys tell us tonight he is going to say look, i'm tired of you congressional pinheads i'm going to take my pen and start to order things to happen and the first thing is going to raise the minimum wage for federal workers on contracts which is about, you know, 17
5:16 pm
people. it's nothing. but he is going to do kind of the macho bluster thing saying, look, you guys are pinheads. i'm going around you. how do you think that's going to play? bill again i just tell new west virginia we want him to be the president of all of us, not just certain segments of society, certain partisan that's not the way to do it. we are all in this together. constitution is very clear. we have the responsibility as executive. i was governor of the state of west virginia. i was responsible for the day-to-day operations. i could not do nor should i do the policies for the state of west virginia. i needed the legislature to help do that and approve of that because they represented the people. evidence has the same responsibility. whether you are democrat or republican, mr. president, we want you to be a president of all of us and work with all of us. >> i don't know if we're going to hear that tonight though. >> i'm hoping for that. >> we appreciate you taking the time to be with us tonight. directly ahead, senator chuck schumer whole different kind of democrat

theist and the tea party. as you may know the fbi is investigating whether or not the internal revenue service has been treating the tea party organization unfairly. that investigation has dragged on for some time. but, one senator actually wants the irs to scrutinize the tea party. >> the tea party elites gained extraordinary
5:21 pm
influence by being able to funnel millions of undisclosed dollars into campaigns with ads that distort the truth and attack government. it's clear we are not going it pass anything legislatively as long as the house of representatives is in republican control. but there are many things that can be done by the irs and other government agencies, and we have to redouble those efforts. >> and joining us now from washington is senator chuck schumer. now, you seem to be saying the irs should scrutinize the tea party, a conservative group when there are liberal groups like media matters and the center for american progress where you spoke pretty much doing the same thing. am i wrong? >> no. you are right. and you cut it off. your editors is a very good editor, bill. they cut it off at just the point you should scrutinize all groups, liberal, conservative, democrat, republican. one problem here and you are right about that, is you shouldn't be scrutinized because your political beliefs. but the other problem is that these 501 c 4s, whether they be left or right are
5:22 pm
abusing the law. the law says you get a tax exemption, you don't have to disclose your donors, you can do unlimited liberal group or conservative group, 90% of your money goes on attack ads on tv you are not doing social welfare. the irs has the ability to shut it down, it ought to shut it down equally, left, right, and center. >> here is the rub. number one, you don't mention any liberal groups and you were speaking at a liberal group that does the exact same thing the tea party does. that looks a little hypocritical. >> no, no, no. >> number two. >> go ahead, bill. >> number two, number two, okay. you basically are are saying that the supreme court, which ruled that this is okay, they are the problem, and the irs should not be overriding the supreme court. okay. take them one at a time. >> first one, i want them to scrutinize all groups. i said that right there at cap. >> you didn't mention them.
5:23 pm
>> well, i mentioned liberal groups, okay? cap is a liberal group. >> come on. >> no, no, no. you say the tea party and then you don't mention the other liberal groups. if you had i wouldn't be on your case. go ahead. >> the tea party does this and abuses it more than anyone else. but everyone, everyone, everyone should be scrutinized. and i said it there at cap. which a lot of liberal groups don't like the environmental groups don't like it, the pro-choice groups don't like it, none of them. but i think all of them should be shut down. second, the supreme court ruled about certain things. but they did not rule on the social -- what is social welfare. and, in fact, the irs used to say that if you spent more than 50% of your money on ads, that was not social welfare. somehow they let. >> here's the deal. social welfare -- >> -- you have got to let me finish my friend. >> i have got a lot of stuff to get to you with. social welfare i know you would agree with me, is subjective. it's subjective. and so the supreme court can never really define it.
5:24 pm
look, i'm on your side on this thing. i think it's being abused by both sides. but i don't think you pointed that out strongly enough. that's my beef with you. all right? i don't want -- i don't want rich guys, all right, like what happened -- do you know how much -- do you know how much priorities u.s.a. spent defaming mitt romney in the last election? do you know how much? >> hey, i don't know the number but it was too much. $57 million. >> if they did it under the 501 c 4 they ought to be shut down. say it right here, liberal group, pro-democratic group, shut them down. >> you and i agree on this issue but i want you to be fair and balanced when you specifically name a group. that's all i'm asking. >> that's why i'm here on fox news to be fair and balanced. >> okay. now, you know i'm going moot white house to talk to your pal, your best friend president obama. >> number one, what's the
5:25 pm
biggest mistake and i asked this to the other two senators before you, what is the biggest mistake? you have been around a long time that president obama has made? >> i said this at the same speech, the biggest mistake he made and i think the biggest mistake we democrats made, was when in 2010 the new folks came in, tea party and everyone else, and attacked government as root of all evil, we should have given a more robust defense of government. the bottom line is, there were lots of problems that were not created by government. the biggest one is loss of middle class incomes. loss of good paying jobs which was created by technology and globalization above all when you can move a job to china or india. it reduces wages. and in our view, government, good education programs, building infrastructure, doing scientific research is the answer, the antidote. we let the other side. >> fight more for the big government and you don't think he did enough on that. >> i wouldn't call it big government but i would say
5:26 pm
when they came in and said government and solution. absolutely. >> now, give me one question that schumer wants me to ask obama? >> at the super bowl? who are you rooting for. >> come on, you want it to be a patty cake cupcake interview? is that what you want. >> of course. if you are not going to do that i would ask him what can he do, assuming congress won't do anything to raise middle class incomes and create good paying jobs, that's the number one problem in america. >> so specifically, specifically what can you, the president of the united states do at the create those jobs? that's what you want me to ask. >> create jobs and raise middle class incomes because even people with jobs are finding their purchasing power is declining. >> of course, under the obama administration it's declined $5,000 per family median income it? >> declined under bush. >> not that much.
5:27 pm
>> oh it declined a lot. it's accelerating. it's not a government. government didn't cause this problem. americans know that the technology, it's globalization. what do we do to counter it? >> we appreciate you coming on tonight. plenty more ahead. the factor moves along. charles krauthammer has some thoughts on the state of the union and he will state them. then, a sensational story that is it legal is investigating. possible exorcism situation in indiana. cops are taking it very seriously. we hope you stay tuned to those reports.

could save you... well, you know. factor follow up segment tonight as we reported some powerful people are raising big money for hillary clinton's presidential run already. it seems that mrs. clinton herself is trying to get ahead of the curve. >> you make these choices based on imperfect information and you make them to -- as we say, the best of your ability. my biggest, you know, regret is what happened in benghazi. it was a terrible tragedy, losing four americans. >> she is very emotional about it with us now, the dynamic duo monica crowley and allen colmes. so, is she just saying that or does she really feel the depth of the disaster? >> i think both, actually. >> you do? >> yeah. >> you think she feels bad?
5:32 pm
>> i think she -- first of all, i think this is a very self-serving comment on her part regret. i think she feels regretful it happened on her watch. >> she has to feel bad for the ambassador and his family and four other americans. >> i tend to agree with you but actually her big regret should be two fold. number one her department denied multiple requests for additional security when that security situation was deteriorating. requests made by the ambassadors serving under her when everybody knew that benghazi was overrun with al qaeda and other terrorists. >> turned down personal security from another source. what struck me, colmes, is she is flat. even when talking about -- >> -- she didn't say it the way she should have? >> maybe. >> is that it? >> i didn't see a the love empathy there. >> she can never make certain people happy no matter what she does. >> i think that's true. >> the words weren't exactly right. >> did you see a lot of empathy there? >> she expressed regret. if she hadn't said it, you would have had a million conservatives say why didn't you mention benghazi?
5:33 pm
she can never make some people happy. >> i agree with you that everything that she does is going to be criticized just like barack obama by some people. >> that's true. >> now my question for you, colmes, did hillary clinton in your mind ever do anything wrong? did. >> she ever do anything wrong? >> correct. >> all of us have done things wrong. >> in the public arena, colmes. >> in the public arena? >> yes. >> she has never been president. she has only held senator for a short time. i wouldn't say she has done anything wrong. >> nothing jumps out at me. >> nothing jumps out at you alan colmes? >> not one thing you have seen. >> make you happy. >> doesn't make me happy. >> she was a good senator and very good secretary of state. i do not have an issue at the moment with hillary clinton. >> i want to be clear that, in your experience, you are a new yorker, okay? >> that's correct. >> and mrs. clinton has been in the public eye now -- >> -- i will tell you what, i will come up. >> for 25 years. >> i don't like her support of the iraq war. i think that was a mistake. i think it was a mistake that too many democrats
5:34 pm
voted for the iraq war i can give you a whopper right now. >> here is what i want from you. has hillary clinton ever done anything right? >> that's a very thought provoking question. >> same question i have given him. one thing. >> on top of my head, something she has done right? >> yeah, anything. testing, buehrle, anything? >> i can't. can i fill a volume with everything she has done wrong. >> how about another category? >> potable. >> this is what i mean. you are both partisan people. that's why we have you on. we want to have a lively discussion. but, you don't think critically about your person. >> that's not true. >> do not think critically about her. you are looking to whack her a couple of times, no. >> she has done so much wrong, mainly lying to the faces benghazi, families of the four who died. she kept up this lie for
5:35 pm
weeks on end that it was a spontaneous demonstration as a result of a video. that, to me, overwhelms everything. and even if i could come up with something positive that she has done, the fact that she oversaw this horrendous event, that by the way she used the word tragedy it is a family for the tragedy of those four. for the nation it was an act of war. this was an act of terrorism against the united states. that's what she should be talking about. >> she use the word terror. that's absurd reaction to hillary clinton who did not lie. benghazi is not scandal. benghazi is a tragedy. republicans tried to play this before the last presidential election it did not unseat president obama. >> why now is she engaging in this kind of preemptive language? because she knows it already hurting her. >> she knows people like her are going to beat the bejesus out of her for the next four years. >> what she is starting to do now especially with benghazi with what you just saw, bill, was this idea that she could put out there she has addressed it, she has taken responsibility, whatever the hell that
5:36 pm
means, and now she can say it's in the past, it's old news. so when it comes up in 2015 and 2016, she can say i already dealt with that this is what the clintons do and they do it very well. have you got to stay on it because this thing keeps unfolding. you had a bipartisan report. >> it is old news. >> she is running, right? >> of course she is. >> yes. >> at least we all agree on that. we agreed on one thing, everyone. i am the master diplomat right here. is it legal on deck? it looks like there is a real life exorcism going on in indiana. the former mayor of new orleans who presided over hurricane katrina on trial for corruption. legal is next. this is interesting.

thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly, in the is it legal segment tonight, troubling story out of indiana. apparently a 9-year-old boy has been doing bizarre things and the police say the situation is credible. what is incredible about that statement is that exorcism may be involved. >> this boy was in one of the emergency rooms, he was kind of growling and his
5:41 pm
grandmother was holding his hand and trying to coax him back and all the sudden he started, you know, she was kind of backing him up toward the wall and then he started to walk up the wall backwards. he did a flip over her head. and. there was the psychologist and the social service worker in that room that saw that and they ran out and got the security. >> with us now attorneys and fox news analyst kimberly guilfoyle and lis wiehl who have been investigating. >> 36 years on the job. told the indianapolis star, quote: that i am a believer, after several visits to the home and interviews with the witnesses that this kid is possessed. >> right. one of three kids are actually -- actually three kids in the home. the mother came out saying there are demons in these

because they felt that the children were experiencing physical, spiritual, anguish and issues and that there was perhaps an issue in the home. now, the mother has gone under four total, one more extensive than the others exorcisms, now, take that as you will, but now that they have moved from that home, this has all stopped. their allegation was there were demons in the house and clairvoyant people of expertise. >> clairvoyant. said there were demons. >> it effected all three kids. >> however. with the police saying that there is some credibility here. we are going to look a little bit more. bring in the priest that you saw tomorrow and i will interview him and we will try to -- because it's very very. >> corroborating witnesses is the disturbing aspect. >> absolutely. if you have a registered social worker and psychologist saying walking
5:44 pm
up the wall. >> we will going to continue and take it easy here. we are taking it easy. linda blair is not necessary at this point. >> we don't want to. >> we don't want heads rolling around. >> former new orleans mayor ray nagin the front man in hurricane katrina, a lot to say, a lot of criticism. he is now on trial for, what guilfoyle? >> very serious charges. is he looking at a total of 100 years. there are numerous counts here. one count of conspiracy to commit bribery. wire fraud. >> what did he do allegedly. >> he accepted allegedly gifts in the form of cash, services, trips to hawaii, et cetera. >> from whom. >> contractors that serve to benefit in the city from the reconstruction of new orleans. >> that's interesting. wait, wait. so, federal money floods in to new orleans to rebuild the devastated town. >> which is contractor. >> the feds are charging that nagin wanted a piece of the action for okaying the
5:45 pm
contracts. >> letting certain contracts go to certain individuals. kick back 50,000 here. 10,000 here. >> a lot of money from. this. >> how strong, wiehl, is the evidence? >> very strong. i read the indictment today. it's a 21 count indictment. i read the entire indictment. it's very strong. started off by something like 7 u.s. attorneys. so they did their job. they followed the paper trail. the money trail. and count after count after count. >> i'm sure guys testifying against them. >> three people already that have been convicted related to these charges. so there is very strong way -- >> -- defense attorney can say if they gave those people a break on their sentence. >> that's what always happens though. >> of course you are going to get a break. >> you both belief nagin will be convicted? >> looking at the evidence i have seen now, yes. >> have to go to angola, the state pen. this is no probation deal, right? >> no. looking at 20 years. >> 20. >> 20 years for this guy. wow. >> very serious. evidence is very damning
5:46 pm
against him. >> ladies thank you very much as always. wiehl's new thriller snapshot off to a good start. not about hockey that would be slap shot. snapshot is a thriller about the civil rights era. you will like the book. final word before the president's state of the union address which is coming right up. charles, moments away. .
5:49 pm
back of the book segment tonight, let's get right to fox news political analyst charles krauthammer who joins us from washington. so, just moments away from the state of the union. i think you and i agree not too many people going to pay close attention to. a lot of things going against the president right now. do you have any advice for
5:50 pm
him? >> well, there is very little he can do retorquely. that's sort of the failure of his presidency. that's been the nemesis of his presidency. he has imagined himself from the very beginning from his rise when he ran as a rhetorical, cares rat particular president rhetorical charismatic president who could change the world with his words. that speech he gave in germany before he was nominated. the speech he gave in cairo. all these things that he thought would change the world and he's realized -- it's taken him five years -- you can't change the world with words. he's not the politician you need to get things done. he's basically going to admit it in the state of the union when he says, i'm going to wield the pen and do executive orders here and there, because i can't move the congress, meaning i can't move the country. the words he once had will not succeed in moving it.
5:51 pm
and that's where he is. that's why in that long new yorker interview. the impression you got, 17,000 words was a man who realizes that his presidency has been a failure. >> now, i believe that one of the reasons he has had such difficulty in convincing congress to work with him -- actually, there are two reasons, number one, it goes against his personal grain. he doesn't like to do that, he's not a schmoozer, he's not like ronald reagan, taking tip o'neill and giving him the head lock. he's so opposed to conservative americans, since vision of income equality and redistribution is so passionate about that, and it's so opposite what the republican party stands for, that the really there's little common ground. >> i think you're right, it's means and ends. the means he's not the
5:52 pm
schmoozer. i don't think he's ever given anyone a noogie in his life, let alone a republican congressman. he's extremely intensely ideological. when you listen to him in public, you never hear him give credit to the conservative side of any argument that it at least is respectful of the country and has a national interest in mind, although it might be based on bad assumptions which is what i think everybody owes the other side. you owe him a presumption of good faith, because you say your arguments are not strong. that's not obama. obama says the republicans think of the next election, not the next generation. obama says i think of the national interest, and they think only of their own power and what they can do. >> it's more than that. it's more personal than that. his ago lights go out, it has to be with his approval and say,
5:53 pm
conservative and republicans are attacking women. conservatives and women hate the poor. conservatives and republicans are basically unfair, cruel people trying to do damage to the nation. once you stake out that territory, you can't come in and say, hey, why don't you give me a break and support this and see how it works. >> no, that's very true. it would make it hard to saddle up to republicans. he doesn't like to saddle up to anyone. >> you wonder why he thinks he applied for the job, it's like he saw an ad in the paper, president of the united states and now he decided it's not for him. >> i don't know if he knew what it entailed anyway. very to go in there to the white house on sunday. i don't think he's going to give me a -- >> if he gives you a noogie,
5:54 pm
that's going to be worth ten points. >> he'll need a stepladder. >> that will give him ten points in approval rating. >> first question from krauthammer. >> mr. president in 2008 you once said that ronald reagan was a consequential president, historically in a way that bill clinton was not. sir, when history writes about you, will you be a reagan or a clinton? >> wow! that's a little philosophical, i only have 15 minutes. >> and you're a simple man, you may not -- >> i may get confused quickly on that. >> i'll write it out for you. >> please, charles. >> we are going to ask one question from the folks. so far we have 9,000 suggestions, and on friday, i'm not going to tell you who, but i'll tell you a little bit about it, so if you want to -- me to consider your question, o'reilly@foxnews.com.
5:55 pm
that is it for us tonight. in a few moments, the president will begin his state of the union address. we appreciate you watching the factor. let's hand it off to brent bear watching the proceedings in washington, d.c.. brett, all yours. >> thanks, bill. you are looking live inside the house chamber. welcome to our special coverage of president obama's state of the union address. i'm brett bear in washington, tonight marks the 93rd time this message to congress or state of the union aggress has been delivered in person by a president. president obama will make the case the economy is finding its sea legs. american workers continue to feel pretty unstable with nearly three quarters of americans still feeling like this country is in recession. we're expecting a speech filled with more confrontation than compromise. the president has eluded to a strategy some have dubbed pen and phone and go it alone. a recognition that many of his initiatives don't have much of a chance in the republican
