Obama’s prescription for America | Top Russian news and analysis online | ‘RIA Novosti’ newswire: “MOSCOW. (RIA Novosti political analyst Dmitry Kosyrev) – In his first State-of-the-Union address U.S. president Barack Obama used his most powerful weapon, the gift of eloquence. Reporting on it, the Washington Post wrote that ‘the president came on strong, breathing fire before the assembled members of the House and Senate.’
Obama did not apologize for anything, nor did he admit any failures of his first year in the White House. He made it clear that his election slogan about ‘change we can believe in’ remains on the agenda. America will change.”
