No mention of Export-Import Bank in President Obama’s State of the Union Address

(Washington Examiner, 20 January 2015) President Obama did not discuss the Export-Import Bank in his State of the Union address Tuesday night, although the bank faces a June expiration of its charter... Obama has called the bank "critical" to U.S. businesses... It has come under fire in recent years from conservative Republicans who say it is corporate welfare, benefiting a handful of companies such as Boeing while placing taxpayers at risk.
