Instability will continue for decades in many countries including Pakistan: Obama

“We are the United States of America, and we should be leading the world in this fight”.

“As we focus on destroying ISIL, over-the-top claims that this is World War III just play into their hands”, Obama said, using an acronym for the terrorist group.

In his final State of the Union address, US President Barack Obama said that instability will continue for decades in many parts of the world, including Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Roe, who has heard all eight of Obama’s State of the Union speeches, said Republicans hope to have their ACA alternative plan ready by March 1. Trump, in a posting on Twitter, called the speech “boring” and lacking in substance.

In place of a typical to-do list for Congress in the State of the Union address – a non-starter as Obama enters his lame-duck phase – the president will speak in broad strokes about what he feels the US can and should aspire to in the future.

Obama’s address came as 10 sailors aboard two US Navy boats were taken into Iranian custody. “However our nationwide lifestyle doesn’t jeopardize”, Obama said.

To Republicans, Obama’s speech was “same old, same old;” littered with partisan jabs at congressional Republicans who outline a different vision for America, an arrogance that his health care overhaul will eventually be labeled as a transformational moment in American history, and a performance that emphasized the dangers of climate change more than the deprivations of the Islamic State.

“What I would like is to see the president talk about what is, of course, the number one issue on Americans’ minds today and that is terrorism, national security, the situation in the Middle East and the attacks on America”, said Republican Sen.

Iran told the United States the crew members would be “promptly” returned, USA officials said. We must resist that temptation.

Obama will offer a renewed call for unfinished pieces of his agenda that already have a foothold in Congress, such as approval for his Asia-Pacific free trade pact and bipartisan efforts to overhaul the criminal justice system.

Finally, the President called on Congress to lift the 55-year trade embargo on Cuba in order to definitively signal to the Castros that Washington is in fact serious about turning a page in its diplomatic relationship with the island nation. It may take time, but we have long memories, and our reach has no limit. “It’s one of the few regrets of my presidency, that the rancour and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better”, he complained.

To help “fix” U.S. politics, Obama pressed for an end to “gerrymandering”, the practice of drawing voting districts in ways that gives advantage to a particular party; reducing the influence of “dark money” or political spending in which funding sources do not have to be disclosed; and making voting easier.

The White House released a post by Vice President Joe Biden earlier explaining his new task, heading an initiative to find a cure for cancer.

He emphasized that Americans should not build up the threat of ISIS and should not accuse each other of trying to tear the country down. “It’s the lesson of Vietnam, of Iraq – and we should have learned it by now”.
