Well, I have to give it to President Bush. Despite his low 30% approval rating, he came across as self-confident in his last State of the Union address tonight. He was cordial, accomodating, but forceful where he needed to be and essentially challenged Congress to get some things done.
Noting that he had laid out a plan to save Social Security that was not accepted, he challenged the members to come with their own plans to keep the massive entitlement programs from going under.
Although the Dems did not applaud at some points, I always hope that other regimes across the world are watching this gem of our democratic process. It is good for them to see that political opponents can come together, and even pull together when it comes to any attacks on our country and its basic principles.
We certainly have our troubles these days, but I am confident we will prevail as a country. Now on to picking the best person to be our next leader who will inspire us to further greatness. I am beginning to see who that will be. What do you think? Oh, and did anyone see who was wearing the U.S. flag lapel pins?
