KAY:
Yeah,
he’s got this kind of fairly short window where he’s just been reelected, it’s
his first State of the Union where he’s not running for reelection. He can take
that on board and decide he’s going to try and push his agenda. But the window
is short because, fairly soon, all of the members of the House are going to
start thinking about those midterm elections.
If he
wants to get big things done, he’s going to have to get them done fairly soon.
In 2012, he promised a fairer America. He raised taxes with the House, at the
end of the year. And we’ll see where inequality levels start to come down in
America. But the big thing he’s going to have to do is promise to get jobs for
the country.
We’re
living in a world where robots are cheap and efficient and people are expensive
and inefficient. And he’s got to find a post-manufacturing America and lay out
a plan for it where there is job growth. And that’s the single biggest priority
of his second term.
