Huffington: The big news about President Obama's fifth
State of the Union speech tomorrow night is that it's going to focus on
"job creation" and "economic growth." But what's really newsworthy is
less that Obama is going to focus on jobs, or that the White House is
telegraphing the same, but that, with nearly 8 percent unemployment and
the economy contracting in the last quarter of 2012, it's actually a
news story that the president is going to focus on jobs and the economy.
It's a symptom of how far both Washington's responsiveness to the
economy and our expectations have fallen. But it's what comes after the
speech that's important. Or, I should say, between this speech and the
next one, since jobs and the economy have made regular appearances in
his four previous State of the Union speeches, as well. Here is what he
said in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
