Assertive speech portends clash Obama pushes liberal ideas; GOP to press on spending By CHArleS BABinGton The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama appealed for “one nation and one people” in his second inaugural address. Any notion that the country’s bitter partisanship might fade, however, seemed tempered by the president’s newly assertive push of central Democratic tenets: safety-net programs for the poor, equal rights for gays and minorities and government
spending on investments such as schools and highways. Deficit spending, the president’s biggest conflict with Republicans, got only one passing mention. And he never uttered the word “debt.” Never fear, Republicans seemed to say in response. They will press the overspending issue time and again, starting this week in the GOP-controlled House. And the outcome of the two parties’ long-running conflict will help shape the government’s
role in coming years, not to mention Obama’s legacy. All presidents want to drive the national agenda. Inauguration Day is their moment to lay out their visions. As Obama learned in his first term, however, unforeseen events quickly intervene, and a president’s fate is to adjust, improvise and reorder priorities. After winning his first election with a call for greater unity and cooperation in Washington, Obama appeared to be taken aback by the feroc-
ity of Republican resistance. It gave birth to the tea party in 2009, forced him to pass “Obamacare” without a single GOP vote and fueled huge Democratic setbacks in the 2010 congressional elections. November’s election chastened Republicans a bit, but they still adamantly oppose the president’s tax-andspend policies. That poses the central challenge to his hopes for an ambitious second-term agenda.

Temperatures across McHenry County topped out around 6 or 7 degrees Monday, and today isn’t going to be much warmer. “We’ll still be in the same air mass, so highs will be probably around the same, around 6 degrees,” said meteorologist Ben Deubelbeiss of the National Weather Service. Overnight, the temperature was expected to drop to 5 below zero, with a wind chill as low as 20 below, Deubelbeiss said. A wind chill advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. today. “For Chicago, the normal high temperature is 31. The normal low is 16,” Deubelbeiss said. “We’re well below our normals for this time of year.” The last time the area was this cold was Feb. 10, 2011, when the temperature was -9 at night, he said. Frostbite to exposed skin can happen in 30 minutes, and it’s not recommended to spend extended time outdoors. Local fire departments
