It looks like immigration will be mentioned
Quote:
BIG PICTURE: The White House is telling lawmakers’ communications directors that President Obama’s State of the Union speech is a “major inflection point” intended to provide an “optimistic blueprint” for the economy, not a long list of things to be accomplished.
The speech is still being written, White House officials told at least 300 press aides at a briefing in the House of Representatives shortly after 3 p.m., according to a person there.
“Just because something isn't in the speech tonight doesn't mean we don't care,” one of the White House officials said. They did confirm that Obama will talk about immigration.
Asked if Obama will mention Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid as he asks for a five-year freeze on discretionary spending, a briefer replied, “All of the letters that make up those words will be in the speech.” – Matt Negrin
