President Obama continues to drop State of the Union spoiler alerts leading up to annual address to the nation on Tuesday.
The president plans to unveil a mix of legislative proposals and execution actions in front of a joint session of Congress. Unlike other years where the content of the speech remained hush-hush until the last minute, this year Obama tried out a different approach by announcing some of his ideas ahead of time. We’ve gotten a taste of what he plans to discuss, ranging from an education push to make community college free for students who qualify to amping up the country’s cyber-security efforts in the wake of the recent Sony and Centom hacks.
Given all that, how are you feeling about the direction of the country in 2015? Msnbc wants to give you the floor.
Please tell us how you really feel by filling in the blank, literally: “The state of the union is …..” Facebook it, tweet it, Instagram it and or say it with an emoji. Just include the hashtag #SOTUis.
The #SOTUis strong, American citizens are rocking their right to free speech, as they should.
