President Obama on income inequality:  - “It’s time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a Mad Men episode.

Road Tripping - After delivering his fifth State of the Union address, Obama began a four-state trip to highlight themes of the speech. Topping the list is an initiative called myRA, which will allow people to set aside as little as $5 through payroll deductions for their golden years. "If you worked hard all your life, you deserve a secure retirement," he said.
