"content": "\u003cp>Even in the era of declining television audiences, President Barack Obama's State of the Union address is still the biggest audience he'll have all year. Historically, seventh-year State of the Union speeches have a short shelf life. Every one of the five lame-duck presidents (that is, presidents constitutionally barred from running again -- Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama) have all had an opposition Congress, making the prospects for passing major parts of the president's agenda slim to none.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/watch-2015-state-union-address/\" target=\"_blank\">Watch the speech\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/01/20/378680818/transcript-president-obamas-state-of-the-union-address\" target=\"_blank\">Read the speech\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But on Tuesday Obama will try to use his speech to frame the debates for the next two years and set the table for the 2016 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are five things to watch:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. How does the president talk about the economy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know he will make \"middle-class Economics\" the centerpiece of his speech, with a tax plan that raises taxes on the wealthiest and the biggest banks in order to pay for tax breaks for working families. How will he convince the country that his policies have led to an economy that's growing fast enough that it's now time to move beyond the debate about deficits and stimulus?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. What tone will he take toward Congress?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's tax plan is a not-so-subtle populist challenge to the new Republican majority. Will they dare to defend tax breaks for inherited wealth — like what the White House is now calling the \"trust fund loophole\"? The president's tone is important. Will he reach out to his old golf buddy John Boehner in the spirit of compromise? Or will he treat the GOP leadership the way he did the U.S. Supreme Court in his State of the Union address after the Citizens United ruling (the one that prompted much head-shaking from Justice Samuel Alito)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Will Obama challenge his own party?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his tax proposals, the president is finally giving Democrats the middle-class economic agenda they've been missing. Will he also challenge them on trade? Getting \"fast track authority\" through Congress is one area where there is potential for bipartisan action. But most Democrats are opposed. On Tuesday night, the president can show he's willing to push his own party on this issue, or he can make it clear he'd rather let Republicans do all the heavy lifting on trade votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. How does the president avoid looking like the \"small ball\" president?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Obama famously said he didn't want to play \"small ball\" — referring to Bill Clinton's agenda of narrowly focused items like midnight basketball or school uniforms. Now, though, the president has rolled out a series of bite-size proposals and executive actions like expanded access to high-speed broadband, mortgage relief and free community college tuition. Can he wrap them all into a compelling agenda for the middle class that is bigger than the sum of its parts?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. How does he talk about Iran, ISIS and the new terrorist threats?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was going to be the year that Obama ended two wars and made a legacy-cementing deal with Iran on nuclear weapons. But the world isn't cooperating. Watch how the president talks about the attacks in France, the negotiations with Iran and the so-far unsuccessful efforts to degrade and destroy ISIS in Syria and Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

What tone will he take toward Congress?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's tax plan is a not-so-subtle populist challenge to the new Republican majority. Will they dare to defend tax breaks for inherited wealth — like what the White House is now calling the \"trust fund loophole\"? The president's tone is important. Will he reach out to his old golf buddy John Boehner in the spirit of compromise? Or will he treat the GOP leadership the way he did the U.S. Supreme Court in his State of the Union address after the Citizens United ruling (the one that prompted much head-shaking from Justice Samuel Alito)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Will Obama challenge his own party?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his tax proposals, the president is finally giving Democrats the middle-class economic agenda they've been missing. Will he also challenge them on trade? Getting \"fast track authority\" through Congress is one area where there is potential for bipartisan action. But most Democrats are opposed. On Tuesday night, the president can show he's willing to push his own party on this issue, or he can make it clear he'd rather let Republicans do all the heavy lifting on trade votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. How does the president avoid looking like the \"small ball\" president?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Obama famously said he didn't want to play \"small ball\" — referring to Bill Clinton's agenda of narrowly focused items like midnight basketball or school uniforms. Now, though, the president has rolled out a series of bite-size proposals and executive actions like expanded access to high-speed broadband, mortgage relief and free community college tuition. Can he wrap them all into a compelling agenda for the middle class that is bigger than the sum of its parts?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. How does he talk about Iran, ISIS and the new terrorist threats?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was going to be the year that Obama ended two wars and made a legacy-cementing deal with Iran on nuclear weapons. But the world isn't cooperating. Watch how the president talks about the attacks in France, the negotiations with Iran and the so-far unsuccessful efforts to degrade and destroy ISIS in Syria and Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

A 'Middle Ground':\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has released two excerpts of President Obama's prime-time speech. In the first, he says that this approach is not amnesty.

If you're a criminal, you'll be deported. If you plan to enter the U.S. illegally, your chances of getting caught and sent back just went up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama will also challenge Republicans who question the legality and wisdom of his executive actions by asking them to \"pass a bill.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update at 3:17 p.m. PT. The Legal Authority: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a briefing with reporters Thursday afternoon, a senior White House official explained the legal reasoning behind the two big actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the senior administration official said, the executive branch is given \"prosecutorial discretion\" by the constitution. That means the Department of Homeland Security can set enforcement priorities and can decide whom to deport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, they say that providing relief to young undocumented immigrants and to the parents of U.S. citizen children is justified on humanitarian grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The official said the action is predicated on a desire not to separate parents from kids who are lawful, and an understanding that's a relationship Congress wants to respect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House official pointed out that every president going back to President Dwight Eisenhower has used this kind of authority and President George H.W. Bush used his to give relief to 1.5 million children, about 40 percent of the undocumented population in the country at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Raul Labrador, a Republican from Idaho, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2014/11/20/365502157/republicans-question-legality-of-obamas-action-on-immigration\">told All Things Considered\u003c/a>, he believed this action is illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice has released a memo that \u003ca href=\"http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/attachments/2014/11/20/2014-11-19-auth-prioritize-removal.pdf\">details the legal justification\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update at 3:06 p.m. PT.

That's just not how our democracy works. The president has said before that 'he's not king' and he's 'not an emperor,' but he's sure acting like one. And he's doing it a time when the American people want nothing more than for us to work together.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update at 3:02 p.m. PT.

Obama's Turnaround:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One piece that is certainly worth a read is one \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/18/us/by-using-executive-order-on-immigration-obama-would-reverse-long-held-stance.html?_r=0\">published by the New York Times that outlines Obama's turnaround on the issue of executive action\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many public appearances, Obama said he did not have the legal authority to act unilaterally on the issue of immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we start broadening that,\" Obama said referring to an earlier executive action that deferred the deportation of young immigrants, \"then essentially I'll be ignoring the law in a way that I think would be very difficult to defend legally. So that's not an option.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The action that Obama will announce today very clearly expands on his earlier directive to suspend the deportation of DREAMERs, children who entered the country illegally with the parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update at 3:51 p.m. PT. A 'Middle Ground':\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has released two excerpts of President Obama's prime-time speech. In the first, he says that this approach is not amnesty. Instead, the president will say, leaving the system the way it is amounts to amnesty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"\u003c/strong>Mass amnesty would be unfair,\" Obama will say. \"Mass deportation would be both impossible and contrary to our character. What I'm describing is accountability -- a common-sense, middle-ground approach: If you meet the criteria, you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. If you're a criminal, you'll be deported. If you plan to enter the U.S. illegally, your chances of getting caught and sent back just went up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama will also challenge Republicans who question the legality and wisdom of his executive actions by asking them to \"pass a bill.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update at 3:17 p.m. PT. The Legal Authority: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a briefing with reporters Thursday afternoon, a senior White House official explained the legal reasoning behind the two big actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the senior administration official said, the executive branch is given \"prosecutorial discretion\" by the constitution. That means the Department of Homeland Security can set enforcement priorities and can decide whom to deport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, they say that providing relief to young undocumented immigrants and to the parents of U.S. citizen children is justified on humanitarian grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The official said the action is predicated on a desire not to separate parents from kids who are lawful, and an understanding that's a relationship Congress wants to respect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House official pointed out that every president going back to President Dwight Eisenhower has used this kind of authority and President George H.W. Bush used his to give relief to 1.5 million children, about 40 percent of the undocumented population in the country at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Raul Labrador, a Republican from Idaho, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2014/11/20/365502157/republicans-question-legality-of-obamas-action-on-immigration\">told All Things Considered\u003c/a>, he believed this action is illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice has released a memo that \u003ca href=\"http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/attachments/2014/11/20/2014-11-19-auth-prioritize-removal.pdf\">details the legal justification\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update at 3:06 p.m. PT.

That's just not how our democracy works. The president has said before that 'he's not king' and he's 'not an emperor,' but he's sure acting like one.

"content": "\u003cp>President Barack Obama on Monday embraced a radical change in how the government treats Internet service, coming down on the side of consumer activists who fear slower download speeds and higher costs but angering Republicans and the nation's cable giants who say the plan would kill jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama \u003ca href=\"http://www.whitehouse.gov/net-neutrality\" target=\"_blank\">called on the Federal Communications Commission\u003c/a> to more heavily regulate Internet providers and treat broadband much as it would any other public utility. He said the FCC should explicitly prohibit Internet providers like Verizon and AT&T from charging data hogs like Netflix extra to move their content more quickly. The announcement sent cable stocks tumbling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FCC, an independent regulatory body led by political appointees, is nearing a decision on whether broadband providers should be allowed to cut deals with the content providers but is stumbling over the legal complexities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKcjQPVwfDk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are stunned the president would abandon the longstanding, bipartisan policy of lightly regulating the Internet and calling for extreme\" regulation, said Michael Powell, president and CEO of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, the primary lobbying arm of the cable industry, which supplies much of the nation's Internet access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This \"tectonic shift in national policy, should it be adopted, would create devastating results,\" Powell added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Netflix swung behind Obama, posting to its Facebook page that \"consumers should pick winners and losers on the Internet, not broadband gatekeepers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Net neutrality\" is the idea that Internet service providers shouldn't block, slow or manipulate data moving across its networks. As long as content isn't against the law, such as child pornography or pirated music, a file or video posted on one site will load generally at the same speed as a similarly sized file or video on another site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, the FCC embraced the concept in a rule. But last January, a federal appeals court struck down the regulation because the court said the FCC didn't technically have the legal authority to tell broadband providers how to manage their networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uncertainty has prompted the public to file some 3.7 million comments with the FCC — more than double the number filed after Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Obama waded into the fray and gave a major boost to Internet activists by saying the FCC should explicitly ban any \"paid prioritization\" on the Internet. Obama also suggested that the FCC reclassify consumer broadband as a public utility under the 1934 Communications Act. That would mean the Internet would be regulated more heavily in the way phone service is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is common sense that the same philosophy should guide any service that is based on the transmission of information — whether a phone call, or a packet of data,\" Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This approach is exactly what industry lobbyists have spent months fighting against. AT&T on Monday threatened legal action if the FCC adopted Obama's plan, while Comcast Corp. said reclassifying broadband regulation would be \"a radical reversal that would harm investment and innovation, as today's immediate stock market reaction demonstrates.\" Similar statements were released by Time Warner Cable Inc. and several industry groups including CTIA-The Wireless Association, USTelecom, the Telecommunications Industry Association and Broadband for America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Republicans including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky sided with industry in denouncing the plan as government overreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'Net Neutrality' is Obamacare for the Internet,\" declared Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a tea party favorite, on Twitter. \"The Internet should not operate at the speed of government.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, Democrat from Silicon Valley, had the opposite reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s easy for people who don’t want to support Net Neutrality to try to obfuscate. ... What we’re trying to get back to in Net Neutrality is only the rules that we had that allowed the Net to flourish. We don’t want additional regulations, only what we used to have.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Jackie Speier\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Millions of Americans, including thousands of my own constituents, have voiced their support for net neutrality. Since its inception, the Internet has played an important role acting as an open space for communication, innovation, and market access, but this growth depends on the Internet’s status as a neutral platform of information sharing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Internet Association, which represents many content providers like Netflix, Twitter, eBay and Google, also applauded Obama's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, as the Standard & Poor's 500 index edged up slightly, big cable companies slid. Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cablevision and Charter Communications dropped 2 percent to 4 percent in the hours immediately after the announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has said he is open to using a \"hybrid\" approach that would draw from both Title II of the 1934 law and the 1996 Telecommunications Act.

He said the FCC should explicitly prohibit Internet providers like Verizon and AT&T from charging data hogs like Netflix extra to move their content more quickly. The announcement sent cable stocks tumbling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FCC, an independent regulatory body led by political appointees, is nearing a decision on whether broadband providers should be allowed to cut deals with the content providers but is stumbling over the legal complexities.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/uKcjQPVwfDk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/uKcjQPVwfDk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\"We are stunned the president would abandon the longstanding, bipartisan policy of lightly regulating the Internet and calling for extreme\" regulation, said Michael Powell, president and CEO of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, the primary lobbying arm of the cable industry, which supplies much of the nation's Internet access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As long as content isn't against the law, such as child pornography or pirated music, a file or video posted on one site will load generally at the same speed as a similarly sized file or video on another site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, the FCC embraced the concept in a rule. But last January, a federal appeals court struck down the regulation because the court said the FCC didn't technically have the legal authority to tell broadband providers how to manage their networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uncertainty has prompted the public to file some 3.7 million comments with the FCC — more than double the number filed after Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Obama waded into the fray and gave a major boost to Internet activists by saying the FCC should explicitly ban any \"paid prioritization\" on the Internet. Obama also suggested that the FCC reclassify consumer broadband as a public utility under the 1934 Communications Act. That would mean the Internet would be regulated more heavily in the way phone service is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is common sense that the same philosophy should guide any service that is based on the transmission of information — whether a phone call, or a packet of data,\" Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This approach is exactly what industry lobbyists have spent months fighting against. AT&T on Monday threatened legal action if the FCC adopted Obama's plan, while Comcast Corp. said reclassifying broadband regulation would be \"a radical reversal that would harm investment and innovation, as today's immediate stock market reaction demonstrates.\" Similar statements were released by Time Warner Cable Inc. and several industry groups including CTIA-The Wireless Association, USTelecom, the Telecommunications Industry Association and Broadband for America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Republicans including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky sided with industry in denouncing the plan as government overreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'Net Neutrality' is Obamacare for the Internet,\" declared Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a tea party favorite, on Twitter. \"The Internet should not operate at the speed of government.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, Democrat from Silicon Valley, had the opposite reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s easy for people who don’t want to support Net Neutrality to try to obfuscate. ... What we’re trying to get back to in Net Neutrality is only the rules that we had that allowed the Net to flourish. We don’t want additional regulations, only what we used to have.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Jackie Speier\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Millions of Americans, including thousands of my own constituents, have voiced their support for net neutrality. Since its inception, the Internet has played an important role acting as an open space for communication, innovation, and market access, but this growth depends on the Internet’s status as a neutral platform of information sharing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Internet Association, which represents many content providers like Netflix, Twitter, eBay and Google, also applauded Obama's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, as the Standard & Poor's 500 index edged up slightly, big cable companies slid. Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cablevision and Charter Communications dropped 2 percent to 4 percent in the hours immediately after the announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has said he is open to using a \"hybrid\" approach that would draw from both Title II of the 1934 law and the 1996 Telecommunications Act. On Monday, Wheeler said he welcomed the president's comments, but suggested that his proposal was easier said than done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more deeply we examined the issues around the various legal options, the more it has become plain that there is more work to do,\" Wheeler said. \"The reclassification and hybrid approaches before us raise substantive legal questions. We found we would need more time to examine these to ensure that whatever approach is taken, it can withstand any legal challenges it may face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FCC isn't under a deadline to make a decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's statement all but guarantees that the major cable companies will spend the next few months trying to encourage Congress to step in to protect their interests.

Here's what Obama told New Yorker Editor David Remnick:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don’t think it is more dangerous than alcohol.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is it less dangerous? I asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama leaned back and let a moment go by. That’s one of his moves. When he is interviewed, particularly for print, he has the habit of slowing himself down, and the result is a spool of cautious lucidity. He speaks in paragraphs and with moments of revision. Sometimes he will stop in the middle of a sentence and say, “Scratch that,” or, “I think the grammar was all screwed up in that sentence, so let me start again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less dangerous, he said, “in terms of its impact on the individual consumer. It’s not something I encourage, and I’ve told my daughters I think it’s a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy.” What clearly does trouble him is the radically disproportionate arrests and incarcerations for marijuana among minorities. “Middle-class kids don’t get locked up for smoking pot, and poor kids do,” he said. “And African-American kids and Latino kids are more likely to be poor and less likely to have the resources and the support to avoid unduly harsh penalties.” But, he said, “we should not be locking up kids or individual users for long stretches of jail time when some of the folks who are writing those laws have probably done the same thing.” Accordingly, he said of the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington that “it’s important for it to go forward because it’s important for society not to have a situation in which a large portion of people have at one time or another broken the law and only a select few get punished.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As is his habit, he nimbly argued the other side. “Having said all that, those who argue that legalizing marijuana is a panacea and it solves all these social problems I think are probably overstating the case. There is a lot of hair on that policy. And the experiment that’s going to be taking place in Colorado and Washington is going to be, I think, a challenge.” He noted the slippery-slope arguments that might arise. “I also think that, when it comes to harder drugs, the harm done to the user is profound and the social costs are profound. And you do start getting into some difficult line-drawing issues. If marijuana is fully legalized and at some point folks say, Well, we can come up with a negotiated dose of cocaine that we can show is not any more harmful than vodka, are we open to that? If somebody says, We’ve got a finely calibrated dose of meth, it isn’t going to kill you or rot your teeth, are we O.K. with that?” \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2014/01/27/140127fa_fact_remnick?currentPage=1\" target=\"_blank\">Full interview \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the president's statements come as four pot legalization proposals vie for a spot on the November ballot, and where last month's \u003ca href=\"http://field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2455.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Field Poll\u003c/a> shows 55 percent of Californians favor legalization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark DiCamillo heads the Field Poll, and he spoke with KQED's Mina Kim about the president's statements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/130689576&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state narrowly was rejected a measure to legalize marijuana in 2010, 53 to 47 percent.

It was a portrait of reconciliation as Kerry thanked Vietnam for its help in finding the remains of U.S. servicemen and praised its pledge to assist U.N. peacekeeping efforts in 2014.

He also will discuss California’s collaboration with non-government groups to promote, primarily to Hispanics, the health care exchanges that are being created to help millions of now-uninsured consumers afford coverage, White House officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has the country’s biggest insurance market and, with 6 million uninsured residents, it is a crucial part of the effort to get consumers to sign up for coverage, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirteen insurance companies will be offering multiple health plans that vary in coverage and price through California’s exchange, even in some of the most rural regions of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting young people to enroll through the exchanges also is critical; they cost insurers less money because they tend to have the best health and don’t require a lot of costly medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama administration is looking for about 7 million people to enroll through the exchanges, and 2.6 million of them need to be younger in order to keep costs down for the overall pool of enrollees, officials said. Nearly one-third of these young people live in three states: California, Texas and Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the private entities working with the state of California to promote enrollment are the Spanish-language TV networks Telemundo and Univision. The White House says the law will give more than 10 million uninsured Latinos across the country the opportunity to afford health insurance coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all states are pushing the law. In many states, Republican governments are opposing the law’s implementation and are leaving oversight of the exchanges to the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama arrived in California on Thursday evening to attend fundraisers in Palo Alto and Portola Valley to help Senate Democratic candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fundraising was to continue Friday with Obama’s attendance at two Democratic National Committee fundraisers at the Santa Monica home of Peter Chernin, a former News Corp. executive, officials said. The events include a lunch for about 100 people, followed by a smaller 35-person reception. Tickets for the events range from $10,000 to $32,400.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
