When Obama tried one of his feeble attempts at defending his policies, just after the election, he was shouted down by the opposition who said that he still does not "get it". Well, I agree about the not getting it part, but obviously I do NOT agree about what he does not get. If he's really serious about getting re-elected then there are a few overdue statements he has to make during the state of the union today. I agree this is not the place for political campaigning, but it is the place to talk about his past record and it is his last chance to set it straight.

1) Refute "Spending Binge" Allegations Strongly and Defend Smart Government Spending and Investments
   i) Stimulus spending was necessary and a verycarefully planned investment, which worked beyond epxectations, and not doing it may have led to economic devastation of horrifying proportions.
  ii) Without goverment investments America would not be the country it is. You think if Eisenhower had decided that "spend as you go"is the only option, we would still not be able to drive across the country by car
  iii) Overriding Republican focus on deficits is plain wrong in a weak economy. The focus should be on reviving the economy and creating more jobs

 2) Convince Listeners That a Focus On "Jobs and Economy" Was Always His Priority And Will Continue To Be
    i) Continuing from the point above, if he had heeded republican advise and not gone for stimulus spending, not only would the financial markets have been destroyed by now, we would have 3.3 million more people unemployed. The stimulus not only resulted in more jobs, but it also included many smart investments which have paid off stupendous returns, such as General Motors and Citibank
    ii) The healthcare plan was not a "distraction" like it was made out to be. It is very much linked to the economy and jobs

3) Convince Listeners That "Deficit Management" Is Always On His Mind, And How Republican/Tea Party Policies Actually Increase The Deficits

4) Continue From Above and Provide Compelling Points of Healthcare package again, Specifically How it Reduces the Deficits

5) Advise Listeners That He is Willing To Work With Opposition But It Is Also Their Duty To Offer Specific Counter Proposals Instead of Just Saying "No"

I will try to complete this article soon, but a lot of fillers can be extracted from one of my previous articles here.
