Barack Obama has always excelled when it was time to give a big speech, and he delivered again tonight. He explained the crisis we face, along with his plans to address it. Some of mentioned that Obama needed to offer some hope, and that of course was an easy task for Obama.
But, he took things much further. he laid down the gauntlet on his agenda. He made it clear that he was committed to addressing energy, health care and education – this year!
One of the interesting details was his reference to finding $2 trillion of spending cuts over the next 10 years that he wants to cut. He mentioned farm subsidies for large agri-business and “cold-war” weapons systems as necessary cuts. The political fights here will be significant, but he made it clear he was willing to make serious cuts.

I am Lisening to Gov. Jindel. He reminded me of the sour faces that the Republicans had while the President made his speech. The Average American people are the ones holding the nation together however for once we need a large Boost which President Obama is trying to give. Why now is the time (in the Gov.’s opinion) for Americans to stand us for each other. Where has he been?In the state of the economy,jobs,medical etc. We had to stand together. When the Rich was getting Richer You never once said that those people needed to help the nation or their own neighbors.Stop being selfish for a select few and it is time for your crew (above average Americans) to start to think of the Nation of workers that is having a hard time.STOP thinking that all average Americans want hand outs and Know that we just want to feel safe and have a Peace of Mind and Soul when we go to bed at Night!!!
