WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is telling supporters he can't get the proposals outlined in his State of the Union address without their help.

Obama telephoned in to thousands of watch parties across the country immediately after the speech.

He urged supporters to work together, saying the change he's talking about is "going to be tough." He said he hoped the speech resonated with them because the president asking for change doesn't mean anything on its own.

Obama said it will "require a big push from you guys" to get legislation, get it passed and signed into law.

How can he expect anyone to back his 'temporary fix' when there is no money to do it with? Fooled us the 1st 4 years, now he's has the audacity to try to fool us again..I bet all you folks who voted for him 2 and 3 times just to get him in there are still feeling the 'pinch' arn't you?...Well, don't expect your big 'change' this time around either, just things getting a lot worse.
