Obama reparte in strength and firmly

It was a willful and combative President who addressed the Congress to make the annual State of the nation speech. The entire House of representatives and a third of the Senate will be renewed next month of November. Barack Obama gave an angle of attack on the Democrats: reduce inequalities.

"America does not stop â€" and neither do I. So, where and when I can take steps without legislation to offer more opportunities to more American families, that's what I'm going to do. "

With an unemployment rate of 6.7%, and a growth of 4.1%, the minimum wage is about 7, 25 dollars/hour and Obama wants all federal employees earn at least $ 10.10, or even an increase of 40% for some public officials.

"In the coming weeks, I will issue an order to require federal contractors to pay federally funded employees a fair wage of at least $ 10.10 (just over 7 euros) per hour â€" because if someone cooks for the soldiers or wash your dishes, you can't live in poverty."

In foreign policy, the President wants to honor the promises forgotten, such as the closure of Guantanamo Bay:

"With the end of the war in Afghanistan, this must be the year that Congress ends with the restrictions on transfer of prisoners and the closure of the prison at Guantanamo Bay. We fought against the terroirsmo not only with the intelligence services and the military action, but because these are the ideas enshrined in our Constitution. "

Obama has shown itself determined on warning to Congress, threatening with the presidential veto any attempt to prevent the development of negotiations with Tehran.

In Russia, as in the rest of the world, the annual speech of the American President on the State of the Union, on Monday night, was followed by many people. Barack Obama spoke of the internal conflict that is affecting Ukraine, spoke about Iran and the crisis in Syria.

Prudent regarding Syria and Ukraine: does not accept an opposition that does not deny the terrorist playbook and argues that the Ukrainian people has the right to freedom of expression.
