The Number One Point in Obama State of the Union Speech is the Economy

As with any State of the Union speech delivered by a President, there is always much "progress to report". In President Obama's 2013 State of the Union speech there is actually much progress to report on the economy. In his opening comments the President said "After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over six million new jobs. We buy more American cars than we have in five years, and less foreign oil than we have in twenty. Our housing market is healing, our stock market is rebounding, and consumers, patients, and homeowners enjoy stronger protections than ever before."
