“State Of The Disunion” (110:00)
Week of: Jan 30 – Feb 6, 2012
As President Obama delivers his 3rd State of the Union address before Congress – his last before the 2012 election – I offer up my thoughts on the over 6-pages of notes I took during the speech…I know, I have a problem and am (not) seeking help.
However, despite the soaring oratory and bi-partisan rhetoric, I offer an alternative intention to the speech and how it may lay the groundwork for the President’s entire re-election bid and how he plans to define the upcoming contest against whomever the GOP nominee will be.
Although the President’s bi-partisan message is welcome by the public, there has been nothing in the last 3 years that would indicate any shift in the current political environment…so what was the President really looking to accomplish?
It appears that the President has planted his flag firmly in the populist message and I break down how this may play in juxtaposition to his likely opponent(s)…putting on my strategist’s hat, yet again.
As always, enjoy the show!
