Some even said we should let it die. President Barack Obama – State Of The Union 2012

A subliminal to Mitt Romney, who said in 2008: “Let Detroit go bankrupt.”

We can’t bring back every job that’s left our shores. But right now, it’s getting more expensive to do business in places like China. Meanwhile, America is more productive. A few weeks ago, the CEO of Master Lock told me that it now makes business sense for him to bring jobs back home. Today, for the first time in fifteen years, Master Lock’s unionized plant in Milwaukee is running at full capacity President Barack Obama – State Of The Union 2012

Unfortunately, by sending the jobs to non-democratic countries with little to no union rights, the jobs have suffered degradation. Peep how iPods are made—and that’s a good job in China. When, or if, those jobs come back to the United States, they will no longer be the family-supporting, unionized positions they were before their China-ization.

The defining issue of our time is how to keep that promise alive. No challenge is more urgent. No debate is more important. We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by. Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules. What’s at stake are not Democratic values or Republican values, but American values. We have to reclaim them President Barack Obama – State Of The Union 2012

Calculatedly softened rhetoric from the Occupy movement. After extolling the virtues of the military (a historically Republican maneuver), Obama pivots to progressive economic populism (the purview of Democratic politics). He is trying to broker a peace upon which a sustainable future course might be charted.

Folks at the top saw their incomes rise like never before, but most hardworking Americans struggled with costs that were growing, paychecks that weren’t, and personal debt that kept piling up President Barack Obama – State Of The Union 2012

Consumer debt has exploded in recent years. North American consumers have been the primary source of demand for the global economy, but as incomes have stagnated or fallen, debt has become the means to maintain consuming capacity.

The basic American promise that if you worked hard, you could do well enough to raise a family, own a home, send your kids to college, and put a little away for retirement President Barack Obama – State Of The Union 2012

Wages and salaries for working-class and middle-class Americans have either stagnated or fallen in the past few decades of “trickle down” economics.

A future where we’re in control of our own energy, and our security and prosperity aren’t so tied to unstable parts of the world. President Barack Obama – State Of The Union 2012

Both parties ostensibly agree on the need to lessen the country’s dependence on foreign oil, but there is disagreement on the means to that end. Republicans insist that all the oil we need is somehow magically underneath the ground within the continental United States and the outer continental shelf—which is not at all true. Obama and the Democrats, while still loyal to the oil corporations, urge alternatives to dirty fossil fuels.

It should be noted that the Middle East is “unstable” due largely to the actions of Washington and Western governments to create conditions of maximum profitability for oil corporations.

It is good that Osama bin Laden is no longer a threat, but bin Laden didn’t blow up the projects.

They don’t obsess over their differences. President Barack Obama – State Of The Union 2012

GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich has seized upon the racism of the far-right Republican base in order to advance in the Party. It is a long-standing American tradition to have race divide people whose economic kinship should prevail.
