WASHINGTON – Saying this could be “a breakthrough year for America,” President Barack Obama called on Congress to build on the economic recovery he said is already underway by restoring jobless benefits, raising the minimum wage and helping women earn equal pay for equal work, in his sixth State of the Union address Tuesday night.
“After five years of grit and determined effort, the United States is better-positioned for the 21st century than any other nation on Earth,” Obama said, during his more than hour-long address to a joint session of Congress.
Following through on a pledge to use executive action if Congress fails to act, the president announced that he would sign an executive order requiring federal contractors to raise the minimum wage for their employees from $7.25 per hour to $10.10 per hour in all future contracts.

Mindless sycophants.. Progress to a Progressive is enabling Marxist scarcity while they get everything they desire for themselves. Pretty soon the HOV lanes on route 50 between Annapolis and DC will be for Politburo members only.

There are term limits moron, it's called elections. If the people didn't want her they wouldn't have re-elected her.
By the way your rant should read need more voters. Get your lazy friends and neighbors out to vote.
I have to agree w/Dr. Andy Harris, nothing new here just more lies and rhetoric, it's typical, though, that Democrats would agree.
The Democratic party is the new communist party!!!
