Michelle Obama et le State of the Union: une liste d'invités stratégique

Quels sont les noms qui figurent sur la liste des invités du POTUS (President of the United States) et de la FLOTUS (First Lady of the Unites States) pour le SOTU (State of the Union address)? Vous deviez vous douter que rien n'est laissé au hasard et que chaque invité est le symbole et ou le porteur d'une cause.

Par exemple, on invite la "célèbre" secrétaire de Warren Buffet Debbie Bosanek pour introduire une mesure inspirée du richissime américain. Buffet considérait anormal de payer moins d'impôts que sa secrétaire. Comme Obama abordera cette question ce soir...

Voici un petit topo sur une "tradition" vieille de 30 ans. "When Sara Ferguson, an elementary school teacher from Pennsylvania, and Alicia B. Davis, a General Motors plant manager from Michigan, join First Lady Michelle Obama in her viewing box during Tuesday's State of the Union Address, they will be taking part in 30 years of presidential history.

Every president since Ronald Reagan has looked up during his speech and into the rafters to give a shout-out to special invited guests. These guests have included everyday Americans, war heroes, schoolteachers, celebrities and small business owners.

 "For nearly three decades, extraordinary Americans who exemplify the themes and ideals laid out in the State of the Union Address have been invited to join the First Lady in her viewing box," Kevin Lewis, a White House spokesman told The Huffington Post's Black Voices via e-mail Tuesday morning."
