President Barack Obama, after seeing him pound his Republican opponents for weeks, and got the role on Tuesday, using his State of the Union against the leadership on the floor, the first major elections in 2012 still being formed.
This was in an audience of millions in prime time the Republican candidates can only envy, even if discussions ardent glances.
Obama did not mention Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich in his third speech of the Union. However, the Republican contenders, not far from the mind. He called Obama's economic equity for Americans on the same day that the payment of Romney revealed a relatively modest 14 percent of taxes on his $ 21 million in 2010 revenues.
"You can call this class war all you want," Obama said, criticizing the Republicans. "However, the billionaire who paid at least as far as his secretary in taxes? That most Americans would call common sense."
Obama can not use the state of the Union of the appointment of an official of a purely political speech, of course. But prisoners say that the symbolic call to a house crowded room, the Minister, who works for the investor Warren Buffett, the billionaire, who says the U.S. tax code is a good position to pay lower tax rate of its employees by the clergy.
Obama called his proposal for a new minimum tax of 30 percent of the millions "Buffett-Qaeda."
The bill that Romney doubled taxes. It also blows Gingrich, who wants to eliminate the tax on capital gains. He also noted Romney in the Republican debate on Monday in Tampa, Florida, said he paid income tax base is not part of a plan of Gingrich.
Fighting taxes is one of the division of the philosophical differences between the parties, who have grown up in a hostile Congress that it is impossible that the president's okay, but the initiatives of insomnia. Brought clashes last year, more than bills and the government's debt ceiling to the brink of closure and resulted in a reduction in credit rating.
After a number of MPs, especially those who chose to support the Tea Party, and the answer to those who abhor the components of the solution and said the collapse of the federal government can not be a bad idea.
Congressional leaders said the GOP ideas Obama said in remarks disparaging shot dead on Tuesday morning, hours before his speech. Obama went through the motions anyway, to promote ideas for training programs and clean energy and other issues.
These issues will have a role in the general election, and once to select the Republican candidate. But you have to deal with the dominant theme of Obama's jobs and the economy.
That severely limits their ability to concentrate on his first three years of his mandate, with the exception of the achievements of foreigners, including the killing of Osama bin Laden. And forces you to say that good things can be achieved even though the legislature full of bitterness.
As of Tuesday, and the Republican presidential race can not be predicted violently dominated political news, leaving Obama largely on the sidelines of the summit. Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, and Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, and express open contempt for the president, blame him for almost all the jobs lost and the house is prohibited.
I refer in particular Romney in Tampa Tuesday, a day after the Republican debate seen on a large scale in his prime.
"The high rate of foreclosures and unemployment record," said Romney. "This debt is high and opportunities are few, and this is the actual state of our Union, but not heard such stories in tonight's speech by President Obama."
Obama "will make the opening argument in their campaign against the" do-nothing Congress, "said Romney." It's a shame that the president of the Union to use to divide our country. "
In fact, a "do-nothing Congress" is the only one of the themes of the Obama campaign planned. His knowledge of the economy may be abandoned, but also reveal significant shortcomings in the Republican Party candidates.
Gingrich has a long history of traditional ideas, and relations with allies and combat the alleged lucrative consulting contracts, and Washington, that Romney is the highlight of this week.
Romney proven track record of Bain Capital companies to restructure to be ho hum event in the GOP primary. But it can be a problem of independent voters in the fall, when the Democrats are going to paint Romney as a plutocrat insensitive jobs paid low taxes, and removes one's thinking.
It could be closer to Obama in the campaign to free their meaning. Capital can be crowded and division toxically be sad place. There may be an idea for another year of grueling election campaign across the country. But at least you can escape from Washington and talk to some of the ideas without having declared dead on the spot, stupid, or worse.
Obama likes the phrase: "You are in poetry but govern in prose campaign." Today, more relevant and can be "campaign Reebok and control of crickets."
Shoes and clothes certainly do not prefer a president. To be used in place of the Office of Energy and reputation to achieve political objectives.
In the toxic environment in Washington, however, can be used for re-election of Obama offers the best opportunity for him to break free from the constraints that prevent the repair of a period of time, and try to restore passion and joy in the 2008.
Romney, Gingrich, Republican or some others hold, and wanting to be the answer to a nation that is trying to turn in economic terms.
