Sneak Peak to State of the Union: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
(ABC) Days before his State of the Union address, President Obama offered a sneak peek tonight into the ideas that will shape his address to the nation Tuesday night.
With the unemployment rate sitting at 9.4 percent, Obama indicated he will spend a large portion of his speech addressing the economy and ways to ensure America remains competitive.
“My number one focus is going to be making sure that we are competitive, that we are growing, and we are creating jobs,” Obama said today in a Democratic National Committee video previewing his State of the Union Address.
Though he admitted to still making final touches on the speech, the president told supporters he will pledge to make the economy his number one priority, ensuring that the economy grows and more jobs are created for Americans across the country while also working to slash the deficit and trim the government to a more efficient level.
“I’m focused on making sure the economy is working for everybody, for the entire American family,” he said.
