US Audio: Scott Lucas with BBC "Obama's State of the Union: Competence, Command, Control"
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 21:10 | Scott Lucas in EA USA, US Economy, US Foreign Policy, US Politics
I spoke to BBC West Midlands this afternoon about President Obama's State of the Union speech. The BBC focused on Obama's calculations in presenting tax rises on the wealthy; I wanted to get further with the politics. The take-away line? Obama, in a "safe" speech, put out message, "I killed Osama. I saved the economy. I am Competence, Control, and Command."
The discussion starts just after the 1:26.00 mark.
