http://rawstory.comWhat follows is the White House talking points on tonight’s speech, given as guidance to the Cabinet agencies, as leaked to RAW STORY Wednesday evening, exactly as received.
State of the Union Message Points
The Speech
This is a unique year for the State of the Union address because it comes on the heels of the Inaugural address. The two speeches provide an important opportunity for the President to articulate his domestic and foreign policy goals for the next four years to the American people and to the world.
The Inaugural address laid out the ideal toward which America will strive and the governing principles that will guide us. The State of the Union will lay out specific goals, immediate and long-term, for how and where we’ll lead America, and will present a blueprint for a second term.

Foreign Policy
This State of the Union comes during a time of war. The President will pay tribute to the men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to secure our freedom. He will speak to the importance of working to advance the spread of freedom and democracy. The President will also speak directly to those individuals who are fighting for freedom around the world; those who wear the uniform of the United States military, and the peoples of many countries that are fighting for their own freedom.
The President will speak specifically about the Middle East peace process and the renewed hope around the world for peace in the Middle East.
The President will reflect upon historic progress made in recent weeks, focusing on the elections in Afghanistan, the Palestinian territories and Iraq.
