State of the Union Address

If he actually means half of what he said then I am with him; however, I was rather disappointed that after a full year of office he still plays the "I didn't cause this problem, Bush did" card. At some point he has to realize that people know where the problem started and every time he pulls that crap out it looks like just what it is, passing the buck. We know where the problems came from, now what the heck are you going to do about them? Just standing there saying "I didn't do it." like some little kid isn't presidential, and I just want him to fix the problem not continually reminding us that he didn't create it.

I like the fact that he says he is going to put emphasis on jobs, but I wonder if I can believe him. He spent last year on the Health care bill, and instead of even suggesting a compromise on the bill still says basically "accept our bill the way it is or give me your own". Can't we find a middle ground on this bill, we need something, but this "we have a majority and can do what we want" attitude exuded by the Dems over the last year is just annoying. Yes the Republicans "we must stop it at all cost" is equally idiotic as well.

Nearly everything the man said sounds good, but he has proven that everything he says isn't always what appears when the rubber hits the road. Still waiting on that transparency of those Democrat meetings on the health care bill, that Obama promised would be on CSPAN. I still hope he means it, or we will end up throwing one group of morons out for the same group of morons we had for the past eight years, and the cycle will continue again and again. I really hoped that Obama would be different, but we are still stuck with politics as usual. Snore. And don't even get me started on that "saved" jobs bullcrap he was trumpeting so loudly, how do you honestly measure "saved" jobs? No I won't get started on that, but I hope the man is able to accomplish what I agree with him on, the others...maybe we can compromise on something.

If you are sincere about what you proposed tonight President Obama then good luck too ya, but if you are going to keep brow beating the opposition into the twisted idea of bipartisanship that has prevailed over the past year, then what can we really do? You people on both sides don't listen to us anymore anyway.
