This week in OtherWords, Sam Pizzigati and I explain how President Obama fell short in his State of the Union address on economic justice and energy and Mary Ann Hitt weighs in on West Virginia’s water-contamination crisis. On our blog, Karen Dolan sums up “the people’s” response to Obama’s remarks in verse.
