Analysis: Obama offers prescription for Democrats in tough election year

U.S. President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union speech on Capitol Hill in Washington By Andy Sullivan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Tuesday offered a campaign blueprint for fellow Democrats who are facing a tough election this November: Challenge Republicans who criticize his signature healthcare law to come up with something better. The president had barely mentioned the healthcare law known as Obamacare during his previous two State of the Union addresses to the U.S. Congress. This time, Obama gave a robust defense of his signature domestic policy accomplishment in what seemed to be an effort to give Democrats who are fighting to keep their seats some ammunition to counter a blitz of Republican attacks over their support of the healthcare law. Obama made no mention of last fall's botched rollout of the healthcare program, or the disappointment of those who found that their insurance premiums had increased beyond what they could afford.
