Is it just me, or did it just seem as if President Obama was trying to sell a car last night? I know your saying Gregg what is that supposed to mean? Well think about it, do you really think that the Democrats (the majority) are going to support off shore drilling or nuclear power? Oh yes, he was a pleasure to watch, and you gotta love that smile, but come on, there was not a whole lot of substance in that speech and understandably so, this administration hasn’t accomplished anything yet. It just seems, to me at least, that president Obama is just trying to sway a few Republicans and get them “on board” with his agendas, (sell them a car).
Making statements like “don’t say no to everything just because you can” to the Republicans, is merely saying, “I dare you to say yes to my agendas”. Hey, here’s a thought, how about when you meet with the Republican (minority of the house), listen to their concerns, and let’s have some real compromise and bipartisanship. O.K. I know I’m living in a fantasy world, but, we won’t see real reform on any front until that happens. Oh, and one more thing, let's have the state of union address, be the state of the union address, not a campaign platform.
