Obama's New Year Resolutions

This article by NPR outlines the resolutions Obama made for the 2015 year in his State of the Union Address. Although he stated that Democrats and Republicans should work together in this new session, he did not hesitate to threaten the use of his veto power if a bill he disagreed with came to his desk. He touched on a wide array of subjects, including the economy, ISIS, the Keystone Pipeline, and even abortion. According to him, "the State of the Union is strong."

I found this interesting to read after I watched the State of the Union; it nicely outlined the President's points and hopes for this new Congress. I thought that he did a good job of covering a wide rage of topics, including things he thought were going well, and things he wishes we will improve in the year to come. I also liked that he urged Democrats and Republicans to work together; I think this is extremely important in a Congress where the House and Senate are both controlled by Republicans while the President is a Democrat. I'm interested to see how the Legislative and Executive branches will work together to improve the challenges that Obama listed Tuesday night.
