Spending freezes. Immigration reform. Energy policies. Health care reform. Social Security. National security. Haiti relief. And most pertinently, the economy.
These topics – and more – hang in the air as President Obama takes center stage at the Capitol for his State of the Union address.
The twitter world is already buzzing with anticipation about how Obama will address the American people at a time when a record number of young people remain jobless and health care reform is in peril.
Gov. Martin O’Malley said last October that health care was the biggest expense in Maryland’s budget, and that a reform bill’s passage would be vital in recovering from a $2 billion deficit.
Capital News Service’s twitter page will have constant updates throughout the president’s address and reaction afterward.
