He will do what just about every president does when they win the office after the opposing party held it. He will move to the center.

Every president sweeps into office promising the world to his base supporters and tries to deliver. Then they find out it isn't that easy. It is easy to say you will do stuff while you are on the campaign trail, but not so easy once you are actually behind the desk and doing the job. So they get into office and try to pass some bills and do some things to make their base happy and some of it works and most of it doesn't and in the process they anger the people that really are to thank for them being there, the independents. So after 1-2 years they shift back to the center. That is what he will do.

He will say we are winning in Afghanistan and our new strategy will let us claim victory and get out of there.

He will say we are drawing down more and more every day in Iraq.

He will say the stimulus plan saved the economy from crashing and burning.

He will talk about health care and say that it is going to get a "reboot" of sorts and they he is still committed to it.

He will say he is dedicated to cutting the debt and cutting spending.

He will then talk about how we are going to spend money on education and other things.

He will say that the economy is recovering.

He will then say that he is going to start up a jobs bill that will put people to work.

And some of it will be accurate and some of it will be bullshit and some of it (like a jobs bill) should have been done on day 1 when he took office. All in all it will be a well delivered speech because he is charismatic and a great speaker and while it will not give much substance, it will cause his polls to bump up a couple of points and it will give the democrats a foundation to campaign on in the upcoming mid term elections.
