President Obama gave his State of the union address on tuesday evening. He reported that there has been economy growth, job growth, etc. reporters from the White House says that Obama has found a new method that he intends on usings referred to the "phone and pen method". This is stunning that the president is using this method this far into his term. This means that he is going to be making a lot of  phone calls and signing the executive orders. Reporters say that he wants to do this because republicans are "thwarting" the public will which leads our president to do this. in the ABC news pole before his Speech it said that only 37% said they had confidence in Obama's decision making compared to 67% from when he first started. Since the start of his presidency he has gone in a different direction. By Obama using the power of the pen method this means that he is going to go around congress and push any bill he wants to through under the executive order.
