Reactions to Obama's State of the Union address Prior to the address, Samantha Thomas, assistant director of the Community Connection office, said she would like to see Obama’s long-range agenda alleviate “the polarization between the Democrats and Republicans, between the 99 percent and the 1 percent.” “He’ll ask for cooperation from the Republicans, which he’s not likely to get. He’ll ask for his jobs bill to be passed, which is not likely,” said Thomas, adding that she feels the atmosphere in Washington is “divisive and detrimental” to progress.
