Picking a fight with his own party, President Obama on Tuesday called for ending earmark spending and proposed a five-year partial budget freeze in his first State of the Union address before a Congress packed with newly ascendant Republicans eager to cut even more deeply.
In a broad 62-minute speech in which he called for rejuvenating America's innovative spirit - what he called "our generation's Sputnik moment" - Mr. Obama said the economy is beginning to bounce back, and said now is the time to push forward with a job-growing agenda.

Prior to the midterm elections, with both the House and the Senate controlled by the Democrats, President Obama sought to drive his labor and employment agenda through legislation. Things have changed. Now, Republicans control the House of Representatives and the Senate is more evenly split between the two parties.
What effect this shift in power will have upon any piece of legislation currently wending its way through Congress is still anyone's guess, but it seems likely that the Obama administration will turn its attention away from Congress and toward federal agencies to achieve its labor and employment goals. Employers can expect greater activity from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, and the National Labor Relations Board.
