Congressional Address

So on the 33rd day of his presidency Barack Obama has addressed a joint session of Congress and in Obama fashion it was a motivational speech for congress and all Americans. He has a way of empathizing with the needs of the people that makes him so personable that you want to hear what he has to say. He gave reassurance of the rebound of the economy and made sure that we understood that it was from years of mismanagement and that even though he is the president we as Americans all share the load and the responsibility. He also stressed that action is needed in Healthcare, education and energy and I believe that he made those points to remind us that he has not forgotten statements and promises made on the campaign trail. I am truly impressed with the speech and delivery. He is an awesome speaker. So in a tacky not rehearsed rebuttal the republicans recorded before the speech, but aired afterwards which made no sense to me but hey if they let it air it was a message in there for someone. The republican minority of the moment Governor Bobby Jindal gave a speech in which he stated that the republicans would be working with President Obama to grow the revenue but in their opinion the stimulus will only grow government, and than stated that he will not use the entire portion of the stimulus for his state only a portion. So to me it sounds like he is just being defiant, saying I am going to take some of the money but not all of it. WHATEVER!!! If it affects your state negatively you won’t have to worry because you won’t get re-elected. All polls state that Americans feel optimistic about the financial state and believe that President Obama is doing his best to turn things around. I have Hope and I believe in the change. COMMENTS
