Obama should focus on jobs: #tellusatoday


We asked what our Twitter followers expected to hear in the State of the Union Address and what their priorities are. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

I want President Obama to start by pointing out the huge economic recovery under him, then tackle education and its cost, and the middle class.

I want to hear about one issue that has been blocked by the GOP: immigration reform.

I hope he'll talk about something that will actually be done but am expecting the usual nothing.

I want him to talk about reducing global poverty and diseases as well as economic reforms.

@sukolomi004

My priorities include better Wi-Fi in America and better schools.
