I think the big story of the night is going to be marco rubios response. I thought that was the best response to a state of the Union Address that id ever seen. It was a confident and assertive speech and today the president has taken his second term agenda out on the road and to the people. His visit to an auto manufacturing plant in North Carolina is part of a larger strategy to get out of washington and go directly to the voters with a clear message. We cant just cut our way to prosperity. I believe we reward effort and determination with wages that allow working families to raise their kids and get ahead. This followed a reelected and reinvigorated president last night. Pressing home his strong belief that we can fix this. Raise the federal minimum wage to 9 an hour. To make highquality preschool available to every single child in america. Im announcing the launch of three more of these manufacturing hubs. A new College Score card that parents and students can use. I propose we use
Own, cornerstones of what it means to be middle class. Whats become a barrier, the soaring cost of higher education. This country is only as strong as our next generation. If you work hard, study hard, and are responsible, here in america, you can make it if you try. Even as this pecks increasingly crucial to get into the middle class, the cost of a College Education is going further and further out of reach. With the average student borrower graduating more than 26,000 in dead. At the university of buffalo today, the president said that has to change. Higher education is still the best ticket to upward mobility. If we dont do something about keeping it within reach, it will create problems for economic mobility for generations to come. Thats not acceptable. To help make that change hahn happen, the president is propose a plan to tie federal aid to the schools offering, using a variety of metrics to reward the schools helping students from all if enacted it would be the biggest change
That somehow to try to make a political point i think is reprehensible. High capacity magazines dont have a pragetcle sporting purpose or hunting purpose. You have 12 rounds. It means youve already missed the deer 11 times. I think its really sad to see the president of the United States exploiting the murter of children. You should practice up your aim at that point. You dont deserve to have a gun period if youre that bad. Thats who theyre after, gun owners. On my first day on the job, i had to eat Rocky Mountain oysters, do you remember that . We dont benefit from ignorance. As president obama prepares to begin his second term, hes got a solid 52 Approval Rating and a brand new official portrait, a bit more gray hair, but a big smile and despite a formidable agenda, including a renewed battle over gun safety and new polling, shows that the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School is boosting broad support for stronger gun laws. A brand new nbc wall street journal poll show asthma jor
You go back to the original greek. Politics had two parts, poly meaning many and tics meaning blood sucking parasites. That firly will describes the state of affairs in washington today. Welcome back from a wild weekend income iowa full of sound and fury, signifying perhaps the way too early start of the 2016 president ial race. Yes, the Iowa Caucuses are still more than 28 months away. But that isnt stopping those with an eye on the oval office descending on the hawkeye state. From the weekend social conservative summit to next months steak fril featuring Vice President joe biden, we will cast our gaze into the future just ahead. But we begin with the fierce urgency of now and two major developments in the area of criminal justice reform. Earlier today in a major repudiation of new yorks controversial stop and frisk policy, a federal judge ruled the tactic violates the Constitutional Rights of minorities. The judge ruled that by systematically stopping innocent people mainly blacks an
Many Senate Republicans have promised to leave no stone unturned. I will do Everything Possible filibuster . Yes. Once the republicans cannibalize each other. This is a question that should be directedo mr. John boehner. I want to commend Speaker Boehner. The house has listened to the American People. You dont have to threaten to blow the whole thing up just because you dont get your way. A funny thing happened on the way to the republicans 42nd vote today to defund the Affordable Care act, something that any writer of a comic farce would have struggled to imagine. Yes, Speaker Boehner being warmly applauded by his fellow republicans at their forum in washington. His cynical decision to jump on the Affordable Care act bandwagon has sent mr. Boehners stock in the gop rising. And it is that decision which has given life to a new man many claim is speaker in nameonly. The house has listened to the American People. Now its time for the United States senate to listen to them as well. Now, t
