State of the Union 2010

[classicman]

Here is the full text version for those who didn't see it.

As I sat there watching him speak, I was almost immediately reminded why/how he got elected. This man is probably one of the best orators I've seen.

I found it interesting, compelling and revealing. His stance was decidedly different.

From: spend our way out of oblivion ...
To: a spending freeze.

From: Being a part of a larger global community and partners ...
To: "not accepting second place for the United States of America".

He also focused on "Don't ask, don't tell"
Its an issue, but not near the top of importance, IMO.

He said jobs must be the "number one focus in 2010" - Great - to me its a year late. They should have been a higher priority than healthcare, but better late than never.
