State of the Union Address

Even GWB had more specifics - this was a vague "let's do something" speech.

Reminiscent of the City on the Hill.

America is the best.

We do big things.

Maybe the inner IR is coming out of me, but this seems like something RR, GWB, or WW would craft.

More of a motivation speech (What Obama is good at) rather than any details.

Here's where I disagree. I think the content was as you suggest but he did not sell that a single bit. The junior-psychologist in me would say that he did buy what he was selling.

RR believed it. I think this was political expediency that didn't match political ideology.
 
Why would I want to do that? I simply said some parents think an insult = a challenge. Not that they should meet in a parking lot.

Maybe teachers should realize (like parents) they are trying to do the best for their child and if they dispute something it isn't a knock against your professionalism.

I dont condone the love all military get either.

I can't read him correctly. Previously, the rhetoric didn't match the policy, now the rhetoric does. Befuddling. If he's sincere, I like it.
 
So, here is what I gathered during this speech.
We are gonna lower taxes but raise them.
We are gonna cut spending but spend more.
We are gonna end the war but continue to deploy troops.
We are gonna make our educational system better by growling at it.
We are gonna better health care by spending less.


What else did I leave out?
