Insists U.S. must ‘reverse the tides’ of inequality

Provoking Republican lawmakers with an
in-your-face vow to bypass Congress if necessary, President Obama said Tuesday night
that he would use his executive authority on a dozen issues including income
inequality and job training to spur “a year of action” for his stalled
agenda.
“America does not stand still — and
neither will I,” Mr. Obama said in the annual State of the Union address. “So
wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity
for more American families, that’s what I’m going to do.”
