Pres. Obama gave a 1hour 5 min. speech to the nation, his 3rd State of Union speech, that touched on a number of timely topics: the economy, the economy,jobs, the economy, more jobs, the economy, do- nothing Congress, not much doing Congress, lethargic Congress, lazy Congress, worthless Congress, and the military.
Little did we know that as he was speaking, Navy Seal Team 6 was in the process of rescuing 2 hostages held in Somalia by Somali pirates. 9 pirates were killed during the raid, neither hostage was hurt. They are both receiving medical exams, putting an end to their months long ordeal.
Maybe one day soon, these Somalis will learn that there is no future in international piracy.
Obama essentially said that he will move this country forward by promising to sign into law those bills passed by Congress that address the needs of the USA.
Fine, now prod the slugs into action. Get Harry and Nancy,et.al. to drop the partisan position, forget the election for awhile, and get something done. We all know about fiddlin' while Rome burns, but, Come on! It's way past due for some degree of hope for the middle class.
Republican Rebuttal
The Governor of Indiana, the republican Mitch Daniels, gave a somber report that sounded soporific throughout. What a yawner! What we expected didn't happen. The Repubs were clearly out flanked by Obama. He gave their rebuttal during his speech. His speech writers(Obama's) knew what people wanted to hear and they included all the talking points, gutting the republicans response. So, Florida looms on the near horizon as candidates hone their efforts to emerge from the running mob.
The military, via the Seal Team, gets high marks for again conducting a flawless intervention(ala Osama). Keep up the good work. Makes the Pentagon look good, at least a little.
