Economy to Dominate Obama's State of the Union Speech
January 25, 2014 ~ U.S. President Barack Obama is focusing his annual State of the Union address Tuesday on the nation's economy.

In an email to supporters Saturday, White House Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer said President Obama "will lay out a set of real, concrete, practical proposals to grow the economy, strengthen the middle class, and empower all who hope to join it." Pfeiffer said three words sum up Obama's message in the speech before Congress: "opportunity, action, and optimism."

Millions of Americans are still out of work more than five years after the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The latest figure puts the nationwide unemployment rate at 6.7 percent. Pfeiffer said Obama will seek to work with Congress in 2014, which the White House is calling a "year of action," but he will not wait for lawmakers "when American jobs and livelihoods depend on getting something done."

The warning comes as divisions between Republicans and the president's Democratic Party remain high, and the president's approval rating remains low. But Pfeiffer highlighted economic progress already being made, saying U.S. businesses have created more than eight million new jobs in nearly four years and are primed to create more. And he said President Obama will outline new efforts to help the long-term unemployed following a trip to communities across the U.S. in the week after his speech.

The president is also expected to use the address to defend his signature health care law, push immigration reform and discuss international issues, including the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan and progress with Iran. The Tuesday night speech at the Capitol will be Obama's fifth State of the Union address. Tens of millions of Americans are expected to tune in on television. House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers -- a member of the House of Representatives from Washington state -- will deliver the Republican response.

Improving US Economy May Help President
January 24, 2014 WASHINGTON — As President Obama prepares to give a key annual address to the nation, he faces political problems that have hurt his approval ratings. Experts say he may get some political help over the next year, as a gradually improving U.S. economy helps heal the battered housing sector and reduces unemployment.

Severe problems in the housing sector contributed to the recession that threw millions of Americans out of work and out of their homes. Without jobs, they could not pay mortgages, so banks evicted families and tried to sell houses to recover the loan money. A glut of unsold homes pushed down prices, hurting homeowners, banks, and the overall economy.

But now the economy is growing again, and home sales are up, according to RealtyTrac Vice President Daren Blomquist, who spoke to VOA via Skype. "We saw a great bounceback in the housing market in 2013 in terms of prices, home price appreciation, and sales," he said. Blomquist said prices rose as investors bought houses, and families got back into the market, though he expects the market to improve more slowly this year. The president may talk about gains in the housing market and the improving unemployment situation in this year's State of the Union speech.

When he took office, unemployment centers were busy and the jobless rate was headed above 10 percent. It took years for the unemployment rate to fall to the current 6.7 percent, which still leaves more than 10 million people out of work. Four million of them have been jobless for six months or longer, which is worse than previous recessions. But recent economic reports show growth, construction, manufacturing, consumer confidence and other important measures mostly improving. They also show the jobless rate heading down in the future. Aparna Mathur, who researches the economy at the American Enterprise Institute, said, "The long-term trend suggests we are heading in the right direction. We might reach pre-recession [unemployment] levels of five percent over the next couple of years “

Many economists say presidents usually get too much blame when the economy goes badly - and too much credit when things go well. The chief economist for the Associated General Contractors, Ken Simonson, said it is mostly private business, rather than the government, that drives the economy. But he said things have gotten better on Obama's watch. "I'm sure that he will take credit for the sharp drop in unemployment rates that we have seen in recent months and for the gradual, but always positive, change in jobs over the last three and a half years." Simonson pointed out, though, that the president's Republican rivals certainly will be quick to offer a rebuttal -- and point out that the jobless rate remains higher than what most Americans view as normal.

If Obama calls it Global Warming instead of AGW or calls it climate change instead of AGW then it shows how dishonest he is, just like all the AGW cultist here.

Global Warning is a natural process that happens with or without human on the planet.

AGW is a religious farce.

It seems quite obvious that you have already decided that the president will by lying.

Climate change IS something that has happened since the planet first came into existence. But, in all cases, those changes have a cause. And this point does NOT refute the possibility that humans have caused the Earth's climate to change; it actually makes it more likely. It tells us that the climate can be changed by a range of different causes. One of the most effective and most often seen is a rise in CO2 leading to increased Greenhouse warming. Well, guess what? We tripped that one our own selves.

As to accusing us of treating AGW as a religion - the charge is specious and the thinking you put into it vacuous. The core charge here is that we hold a belief without evidence; that we are acting on faith and faith alone. Since 97% of all peer reviewed climate studies and 97% of all climate scientists support the IPCC position, the charge is completely empty. YOU are holding an opinion for which no factual support may be found. YOU are the one acting on faith and faith along. YOU are the one treating this issue as the religious innately and inherently treat their religions: an irrational mob response to mind-numbing chants and magic smoke and mirrors.

And that is what happened in a area that encompasses less then 2% of the area of the Earth. In the meanwhile, in the other 98%, it was the fourth warmest year on record.

According to which altered record? Its getting damned hard to defend AGW and not sound like a f'ing idiot, isn't it?

 

[SSDD]

Yeppers, thankfully there were only a few thermometers available to make that happen!

Ever notice how the most warming happens in the places with the least coverage? Anyone with an IQ higher than their shoe size should wonder about that but warmer wackos just eat whatever they are spoon fed by their cult leaders.

 

[mamooth]

The conspiracy theories are all you have left now. Sucks to be you.

 

[SSDD]

If Stephen Goddard ever had any kind of reputation as a scientist, this kind of thing pretty much destroys that reputation.

Which of those things are you claiming aren't true?

 

[SSDD]

The conspiracy theories are all you have left now. Sucks to be you.

As much evidence as you have seen of data tampering, you still deny that it happens? What a denier you are....a genuine denier denying hard proven fact as opposed to skeptics who don't believe unfounded opinion stated as if it were fact.

Really sucks to be you.
