CNN’s chief Washington correspondent will ask the president about the economy, immigration, jobs, national security, and foreign policy, according to CNN.  Tapper’s Friday interview comes two days before Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly sits down with the president on Super Bowl Sunday at 4:30pmET.

The president’s address last night focused on increasing opportunity for all Americans, with the caveat of him taking action on his own when Congress won’t.
