Today's speech will be heavy on jobs, health care and a revived "Yes, we can" attitude, but the real test will be how the president connects to the public. A new Gallup Poll finds Obama is the most politically polarizing president in recent histories.
2. A conservative activist 1, who caused problems for the community-organizing group Acorn 2, is now accused of trying to interfere 3 with the phones in Senator Mary Landrieu's Louisiana office.
