Because you guys will be here before I can in the morning.
I thought that this was an impressive speech. Focused on the economy and getting the domestic house in order, he was able to lay out the seriousness of or collective situation while hitting pretty high notes on our ability to get past this period, but also to take advantage of the multiple opportunities there for the taking in refocusing on our economy:
- Energy
- Health Care
- Education
Foreign policy was much thinner as a subject here. And I am just delighted that Obama keeps reminding folks how we got here and delighted that he is keeping up the bipartisan theme.
Tell us what you thought of the speech, the plan and how much you think he’ll accomplish. No, Jindal did not live up to the hype. It didn’t help that President Obama pretty much used the Jindal litany of “new ideas” as those ideas that got us in the hole we are in now. But I kept waiting for the phone number to scroll across the screen that would put me in touch with operators standing by who would get me my free aluminum siding quote.
