US Audio: Scott Lucas with BBC "Obama's State of the Union: Competence, Command, Control"


             

 DateWednesday, January 25, 2012 at 21:10 | AuthorScott Lucas in , , ,

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.
