OBAMA STATE OF THE UNION
Trending upward: Headed into tonight’s State of the Union address, President Barack Obama finds himself riding the first approval ratings uptick in nearly two years. Fifty percent say they approve of the job Obama’s doing as President, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll released yesterday. Improving economic conditions may be the reason why, but still 56% of Americans feel the country is on the wrong track. Tonight’s speech will focus on middle class economics. The President will propose a $500 tax credit for married couples, a child care tax credit increase to $3,000 and two free years of community college to qualified applicants.
