hehehe, this makes me wish i had done the same thing as you. i shouted a lot of things back at the tv. lots of what he said i'm all fingers crossed and wishing and hoping. and i noticed too how the democrats were all up and down and up and down, and the republicans were mostly looking not happy. i'm a bit confused on how there can be no spending for 3 years.

i'm also not entirely certain he's got it right about schools, only rewarding the ones that show progress? um, the schools that dont show student progress are probably the ones that need the help! i understand concern about squandering money, but taking away funds for inner city schools isnt going to help anyone. its kind of like dooming to poor to stay poor. i think more time and money should be focused on school education than college. its nice all his plans for making college more affordable, but our k-12 schooling system sucks eggs and lags behind so many other developed nations. i guess i just want my cake and to eat it too.

truthfully, if i had to choose, i'll gladly take health care reform first and foremost, no matter how many years it takes, and no matter what else has to sit on a side burner.

watching him speak is kind of amazing to me. he seems so relaxed about it, doesnt hardly stumble at all, stays on topic, speaks eloquently and inspirationally. theres just no way in hell i could ever pull off something like that. and he didnt lose me anywhere during his speech. didnt ramble on or go into topics that cause my brain to go numb while i stare at the wall. he's a very good public speaker.
