WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama will describe his plan for spurring the economy in his State of the Union address today, offering proposals for investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, clean energy and education, a senior administration official said.
In the annual presidential address to Congress, Obama plans to show he has not lost sight of the economic woes of middle-class Americans issues that dominated the 2012 election campaign but have been overshadowed recently by efforts to cut the deficit, overhaul immigration laws and curb gun violence.
