Obama's Union speech.

G'day everyone.

How many of you watched President Obama's speech last night? You could hear some people muttering across the room under their breath last night on TV. Nobody didn't want to become an infamous person by muttering Rep. Joe Wilson's "YOU LIE!" as often.

But last night, Obama was trying to sound contrite and honest about the State of our Nation. He offered promises and hopes. He offered incentives and tax breaks. He proposed many changes to the laws. But most of all, he wants congress to work TOGETHER.. right now. Not later.. NOW!

But there is one BRIGHT moment that I liked about President Obama last night. With the Supreme Court having a front row seat, the justices found themselves at the center of attention. About what, you say?

It's all about people who influence elections with advertisements. The supreme court erased those limits a few days ago. President Obama and congress gave the justices their "opinion" LOUD AND CLEAR.

For the few moments of time, it seemed to be the right thing to do. Perhaps it is. But then again, the justices will remember it and may take revenge through some changes of laws. (Let's hope they rather forgive and forget and take what is said very clearly to heart.).

Will congress work together before the Spring Primaries hit? Or will they try to wait to look good before the Fall 2010 elections? Whatever happens, their chance to look like honest working members of Congress for this country, the time has just started from the State of the Union until the 2nd Tuesday of November.

Semper FI.
