And right now president obama is on a plane to boys. Id ha pushing the proposals laid out in his state of the union last night. Ess than an hour ago. He plans to meet the wife of a pastor currently in prison in iran and tour a lab there. The president spoke from everything from Foreign Policy to jobs in his address. Tracie potts has the story. The shadow of crisis has passed and the state of the union is strong. Reporter president obamas state of the union took on everything from Climate Change to cuba immigration and isis. We will continue to hunt down terrorists. Reporter and he previewed whats coming in his budget in two weeks. Free community college, paid sick leave, a push to raise the minimum wage. Policies he says will help the middle class. And these policies will continue to work as long as politics dont get in the way. Lets set our sights higher than single oil pipeline. Reporter his push for higher taxes for the wealthy isnt likely to go far. Republicans in charge here would rather cut spending. And balance the budget with meanful reforms, not higher taxes, like the president has proposed. I kind of think a rose colored glasses speech frankly. And i was disappointed a lot of his proposals were expensive new entitlements. Reporter some republicans actually liked the president s ideas. The president presented some great aspirational goals. The question is how are we going to get there . The devils in the details. Work with the president. Lets find the winds here and see what we can deliver. Reporter its a new game plan for a divided congress. Ts, nbc news, washington. And right now you can talk to white house leaders about what the president said last night. The Public Engagement director tweeted this picture earlier today for big block of cheese day, its called. Something Andrew Jackson held more than 175 years ago. To take part in this and ask a question with askthewh pon twitter. Wh on twitter. And here the senior Political Editor joining us with more. Thats nice. People get to tweet in questions . Not wearing the cheeseheads. Surprised. Got to expect Something Like that. Well an interesting theme. I guess they used to serve cheese to people at the white house who would stop by to talk about what the president has said. Lets move on though. Interesting things that happened last night. First of all, lets have a listen to what the speaker of the house had to say afterwards. The veto threats and fantasy land proposals from the white house will not distract the peoples house from the peoples priorities. Fantasy land he calmed itled it. Not surprising . Predictable. Democrats praising it republicans dismissing and criticizing. Thats almost the totality of the big measures the president talked about. Free tuition for community college. The paid sick and Maternity Leave were more aspiration for the next president s campaign to take up the mantle. Weve seen in this era of divided government the big stuff isnt going to happen. The small stuff is so hard to accomplish. Given those reality, president obama was setting his sights for 2016 and beyond. The president had funny moments last night. Lets listen to one of them. I have no more campaigns to run. [ applause ] my only agenda i know because i won both of them. [ cheers and applause ] oh so any other great moments like that . Saying on twitter, burn. You know again that kind of comes, some republicans think there was president obama being cocky. On the other hand democrats saying look republicans were rude mockingly applaud that line he has no more campaigns left forcing president obama to say i beat you guys twice. So a little bit of back and forth, but sometimes the spontaneous moments are the ones were talking about more than the once scripted and planned on for weeks and weeks and weeks. Yeah. Always expect aspirational things from the president. They say theyre the big things. The big picture. What we expected. Sometimes you have small laundry list type of things that can be accomplished in a bipartisan way. President obama set his sights big in ways he knows the Republican Congress wont pass it.
