With his polls dropping below the 50 percent margin, President Obama must think about ways to create hope within the American people during his State of the Union Speech. A recent pole from the National Public Radio reveals that more than 50 percent of Americans would vote Republicans if the mid-term elections were to happen today. This correlates to the similar statistic of over 50 percent of the American people being against the proposed health care plan. Obama truly does have much to address: The state of the economy, jobs within the economy, relations with other nations regarding climate change, and the state of the health care debate. President Obama can't trash a plan that has been worked on for over a year, but he also can't put through something that the people don't actually want; he has an issue on his hands. With this in mind, Obama can't just think about reelection strategy when he makes his speech - he needs to think about what will actually please the people. This will truly be the telling factor of how he is doing as Chief of State, actually representing the people. This speech will be crucial in deciding what direction the United States will go regarding many issues.
