Obama to Assert Unilateral Agenda - WSJ.com
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night will seek to shift the public's souring view of his leadership, a challenge the White House sees as critical to shaping the nation's policy direction over the next three years.
Mr. Obama will emphasize his intention to use unilateral presidential authority—bypassing Congress when necessary—to an extent not seen in his previous State of the Union speeches, White House officials said.
He also is expected to announce that some of the nation's largest employers, including Xerox Corp. XRX -4.42% , AT&T Inc., T -1.12% Lockheed Martin Corp. LMT -1.81% and Procter & Gamble Co. PG +1.20% , have signed a White House pledge agreeing not to discriminate against the long-term unemployed when making hiring decisions, according to a draft of the policy and interviews with several people familiar with the matter.
Let me guess...something about inequality?
