Tonight President Obama will deliver what will probably be the most important speech of his life, The State of the Union speech. After a recent upsurge in the popularity polls after his last speech, and a downswing of his supporter-base, the President is expected to do a balancing act. He needs to regain the confidence of the masses who voted him into office, and yet not appear to be too liberal. The following are the ten points you should expect the President to drive home tonight:
1.) Social Security and MediCare, our most solvent institutions, are to remain untampered with.
2.) The need for job creation by our business and governmental sectors.
3.) The need to re-invigorate our public education system so that we may be better equipped to compete in the global economy.
4.) The need for a moratorium on bank foreclosures and a reconstruction of homeowner loan contracts.
5.) Proposed safeguards to avoid another financial disaster as was in late 2008.
6.) The end of non-productive and wasteful government spending.
7.) A bigger cut in the military budget in order to help finance the employment development and education plans.
8.) Tax incentives for corporations that re-channel their hiring efforts toward U. S. citizens.
9.) The initiation of penalties on U. S. based corporations that have relocated their manufacturing facilities off-shore in pursuit of cheap labor.
10.) The need to pass the Dream Act.
