State of the Union: Obama aiming his message beyond Congress

Obama in 2013 faced a hard year with many things that occurred in his presidency with Congress. One of the main things that happened in his presidency was the government shutdown. That brought many negative contributions and struggles to him. This new year President Obama will deliver his state of union to Congress. With all the struggles Obama faced with Congress in the past he is now trying to come up with a new agenda that can advance with or without the help and support from Congress.  The white house will also help contribute so Congress and the president can both make wise decisions. Obama helps that in his second term he is able to accomplish everything he couldn't before because of the bad relationship he had with Congress. In this second term he is hoping to open up more jobs and help better the economy in the U.S. In my opinion it must be very hard for Congress and the president to get along however they both have to put in their part so our government can be successful. Hopefully with the President's new agenda everything will be taken care of and no bad situations will occur such as in 2013.
