Obama comes through

President Obama's speech didn't exceed my expectations, it perfectly met them... I was expecting the very best from him and he delivered! What struck me was how retrograde the republican party has become, with virtually no good ideas to bring to the table and an outlook that is so backward, frozen and negative; the body language of the “other side” of the aisle was telling. I'm not even talking about Joe Wilson's intervention, the South Carolina representative who still lives in the 19th century. This said, I wonder why folks who see themselves as reasonably intelligent can still support such a regressive party and dying ideology...
