Maybe I am naive but I liked a lot of what the President said tonight. It would be encouraging if it weren't for the opposition party sitting on their hands when the democrats were applauding.

As the President said, this is no time for running for reelection. He said he was speaking to both parties. We the people are in serious trouble and if they cannot work together what hope do we have to get out of it ?

Fighting the same battles of oneupmanship is a sad state of affairs. Let us hope that the next year can show some unity which has been sadly lacking in the past. Working together they might just be able to get something done.
