Obama pitching initiatives ahead of State of the Union speech

Obama will meet with congressional leaders from both parties Tuesday to “discuss a wide range of issues including places where he hopes we can work together to grow the economy and protect our national security,” a White House official told CNN.

Asked whether he would support Obama’s community college proposal, Corker said “Oh no, no, no, no, no,” instead urging other states to do something similar to the President’s initiative rather than create “a whole new bureaucratic federal program.”
