It has been a long time since I’ve heard a State of the Union address that seems so close to the heart and reflective of, what I perceive to be, the true spirit of America that the founders had in mind.
Obama is often criticized for saying he is going to do something but never reveling the details of his plans. There was none of that in this speech. Nor was there any doubt that he plans to (continue) doing everything he can to put forward that which is in the best interest of the citizenship of America.
For the first time I can say I’m proud of our President. His ideas are solid and will undoubtedly work however, it’s going to take more than 4 years, and perhaps longer than eight.
While there are many Obama detractors, when I look at the other choices out there, well there really isn’t one. The GOP it seems isn’t planning to back Newt. And I don’t think Mitt could find his ass with both hands.
So all that really remains is for Americans to decide if they’re going to vote along party lines simply because it’s what they do, or if they’re going to vote with the majority and work with Obama to do what we put him in office to do.
We often get frustrated with presidents, any presidents because of what they do, or fail to do. What we forget is that congress has far more control than the president does. We’re seeing this with Obama as we did with Clinton.
I say onward and upward Mr. Obama.
