CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - For a president in political trouble, the State of the Union address seems the ideal launch site to get past it and get going. But that seldom has worked as planned. Now President Barack Obama is trying to make a go of his "we don't quit" campaign for change.

To do it, he'll have to deliver action that will help get the nation beyond its winter of discontent, and that is going to be increasingly difficult against almost lockstep Republican opposition that is sure to harden as the congressional elections approach.

Against that prospect, Obama had a blunt message for Republicans: "Just saying no to everything may be good short-term politics, but it is not leadership."
