LISTEN ONLINE TO THIS SHOWSUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST
The day after Obama called for investment in infrastructure and cutting the corporate tax rate in his State of the Union speech, he travelled to Manitowoc, Wisconsin – our JOHN NICHOLS was there and will report.  John of course is Washington Correspondent for The Nation and writes “The Beat” blog at TheNation.com.

Also: Last night’s State of the Union was a speech about Obama’s view of where jobs come from: from government help for corporations.  But those corporations have not been hiring workers in the US, says  HAROLD MEYERSON: he writes a column for the Washington Post op-ed page and he’s editor at large of The American Prospect.

Plus:  Baby Doc is back.  AMY WILENTZ returned last week from Haiti on the first anniversary of the earthquake that killed more than 300,000 people – and after the ominous return of former dictator “Baby Doc” Duvalier.  Amy wrote about Haiti for the L.A. Times. “Haiti Stories” conference at UCLA Sat. 1/29: info HERE.
