What Obama should say tonight | National Catholic Reporter

What Obama should say tonight | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Yes, he did talk about poverty - no, he did not quote Pope Francis (nor should he have).  Yes, he did promise an executive order forcing a higher minimum wage on contractors (means more in construction than defense) and he quite rightly promised a veto if Congress tried to derail his Iran talks with more sanctions.  Pretty standard Obama.   Frankly, the speech is always a success if, when speaking to an audiance which has significant numbers of people who hate you, you do not return that hate.  What marks Obama is not his professorial tone, but his even handedness with people who should be publicly scorned.
