State of the Nation: Obama starts operation re-election

He wants to reduce the horrendous debt with a five-year plan, but also boost the economy and investing, Barack Obama presented in his speech to the nation, the course for the coming year. First details of his talk has seeped through in advance. Washington - It occurs during prime time in front of the camera: When Barack Obama in Tuesday night's speech to the nation, holds him 50 million people will see in the USA.


The voltage is sufficiently large. Renowned U.S. newspapers like the New York Times or the Washington Post and major TV broadcasters to speculate in advance what the U.S. president in the State of the Union Address will announce before the Congress. Indeed, contrary to previous years supported the White House and is hardly signals what Obama will put the focus of his speech.

The President is the speech by 3 clock BST before both chambers of Congress and keep explaining the policy rate this year. But what exactly will it go? Obama himself had at the weekend announced in a published on the Internet video message, after which he will focus his State of the Nation on the cranking of the economy, but also on measures to reduce the huge government deficit is now around 14 trillion dollars in the handle to get.

His environmental consultant Nancy Sutley told a few hours before the presentation, the president will also promote renewable energy. After all, it could create jobs. Obama is likely the Republicans in addressing the crisis to propose closer cooperation. He is dependent on the help of political opponents.

In November, the Republicans had won in the elections the majority in the House - even with the promise to reduce government spending. "Obama will offer a plan for growth through investment, while keeping the other hand the Republicans a plan for growth through cuts," sums up the Wall Street Journal, together with the contrasting recipes.

Obama now wants to supposedly make it clear that the U.S. also rely in times of drastic cuts to investments in research, education, but also in new infrastructure to stimulate the economy, but to remain internationally competitive. Obama wants to freeze spending for five years, the Republicans announced their hand at a draft budget with massive cuts.

The majority leader in the House, Eric Cantor, said on Tuesday his party wanted to cut domestic spending by about 22 percent immediately. A draft should on 14 February will be introduced. The White House says the other hand, they wanted to invest in projects that made America stronger - and cut programs whose object was not.

In the New York Times speculated that Obama will announce in his speech, a five-year austerity plan. Of these, all non-security discretionary budget and expenditure to be affected. He also will ask the members to show support for a five-year plan by Defense Secretary Robert Gates. He will save 78 billion U.S.

dollars in defense spending. On foreign policy issues, Obama would rather express other hand, on the edge of his speech. U.S. media is believed that the president is here to address the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. He had promised a withdrawal of troops but this year, but by the extended commitment of Americans by 2014 it would no longer be unsustainable.

Obama is expected to present at his speech as a politician of the center - also paved the way for his re-election next year to make. The address to the nation comes at a propitious time for him apparently: For several surveys both show that more than 50 percent of Americans his policy, as many as not for long.

Obama obviously benefited of how sensitive he reacted to the assassination of Arizona.
