Parcing SOTU
| "Now, even with better high schools, most young people will need some higher education". |
Obama refers to the MIDDLE CLASS, 8 times in his SOTU address. WORKING CLASS, zero times. His only other mentions of CLASS are in WORLD-CLASS and CLASSMATES, one each.
He actually does use the word POVERTY 4 times and even calls for a raising of the MINIMUM WAGE to $9/hr. Good, but that still leaves millions of full-time workers living far below the poverty line and without benefits.
He never mentions the words DRONES, KILL LIST, TORTURE, or GUANTANAMO for obvious reasons. Viewers
