Brownstein on SOTU

Ron Brownstein writes politics for National Journal. Here he analyzes the recent State of the Union speech, given by President Obama. I like this line:

The most striking aspect of Obama’s remarks was how unreservedly he articulated the views of the coalition that reelected him, and how little need he felt to qualify those views for fear of alienating voters beyond it.

Another indication of the nation's serious political polarization.
