Ahead of his address, White House blog contributor Macon Phillips called it "just the beginning." Citizen Response will be introduced. 

It lets listeners and viewers explain how they're "connected to (issues) and then share (what's on their mind) with friends."

Q and A will follow. Theater will substitute for substance. 

Handpicked hundreds will "join a special #WHSocial in person, and 100 White House followers on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ representing more than 20 states" nationwide. 

They were "invited to watch the speech live from the White House and participate in a panel discussion."

On February 14, Obama will initiate "Fireside Hangouts." They'll imitate Franklin Roosevelt's fireside chats. He delivered dozens on radio from 1933 - 1944. 

Obama's no FDR. The difference between them is stark. Obamanomics substitutes for New Deal fairness. What Roosevelt created, Obama helps put asunder. He heads a bipartisan criminal cabal.

He prioritizes the greatest wealth transfer in history. He's beholden to powerful monied interests. He's a jobs destroyer, not a creator.
