President Barack Obama will lay out a "blueprint for an economy that's built to last" in Tuesday's State of the Union address - the third of his presidency.
That blueprint will focus on manufacturing, energy, education and middle-class values, according to a video released on the Obama's campaign website and Democratic sources who have been briefed on the address.
Democratic sources told CNN Sunday that the bullet points of Obama's blueprint will focus on American manufacturing, including "insourcing" - or bringing back jobs from overseas. The sources say he'll argue that during his term, the United States has seen the manufacturing industry grow for the first time in 15 years - especially in the auto industry that he helped with bailout funds.

Is it possible for me to play the role of Benjamin Franklin (peacemaker) here?
A miei amici©:
I do not know any evil person from a group of us who were all very friendly a week ago.
We have different ideas on what is best for the country in which our group lives. My ideas, I think, are different from those of everybody else in the group.
Is it better for us to fight, or not to fight?

@ gung hoe,
I did not see all of those posts. They must have been erased while I was at work.
While some of these comments are mixed in their opinions of Obama's performance, which will be apparent in his speech, I am surprised at the number of negative opinions regarding the President, considering the liberal slant of this network and those who post here.
I think that some liberals may not see Obama as an ideal spokesperson.
My opinion of Obama's presidency remains mixed, although I still support his reelection.
@gung hoe:
I am glad you are back, but I still don't understand why you left in the first place.
Welcome back.
@JIF:
I, also, have mixed feelings about our POTUS, but I respect the man and the office, which seems to be sadly lacking when it comes to these blogs.
I haven't seen a candidate, though, that would make me change my mind about not voting for him.

Sorry for the double post; wonky phone.
This is a pretty cool political video http://youtu.be/P3kfaxsZE-c
Obama's speech was recycled from his 2010, and 2011 SOTU. Same promises, no action. He also dumbed it down again to an 8th grade level for his few supporters he has left.
