Obama: ‘Make this a year of action’ (Video)

President Barack Obama can deliver a speech. And he did not disappoint during his sixth State of the Union address. Pundits called it a center left speech using center right language.

Themes for the evening included:

• “War coming to an end.”
• “Inequality has deepened.”
• Create “ladders of opportunity into the middle class.”
• “Opportunity is who we are.”
• On the issue of minimum wage, he exhorted the congress to “join the rest of the country. Give Americans a raise!”
• “Americans must move off a permanent war footing.”
