The presidents speech was good if you are ok with ignoring the truth. He talked about how we were going to do this and going to do that and how we were going to really compete in the world economy. Well my friend that is not going to happen until one of the powerful politicians forces our government to address OUR issues. Banks! In case you haven't noticed banks are not helping people and not helping people is stopping business growth and stopping business growth is stopping the economy from growing. He wants more people to become teachers...does he even have a clue on how our teachers are treated? Teachers get paid 'squat' while playing basketball you can get paid millions and then you can go be a jerk. If you were a teacher and did that you might even be arrested so I don't think being a teacher is on top of many peoples preferred career list. He talked about HARD speeding cuts on Us but why don't he start by cutting the life long benefits politicians get after being in office for ONLY ONE YEAR. They get more than you and me for doing a life time of service. And the he addressed health care. If it is so good then why don't the politicians have the same health care he is proposing for us?? Why are so many allies getting to opt out - like unions that give him big bucks for his campaign. The fact that there are always politicians in the audience and very few 'common citizens' should give you an immediate understanding of who he is talking too. Not us. Why can't we get real substance in changes. All you have to do is use common sense and logic.
