Here is a link to the President’s State of the Union speech:

The President’s speech was an interesting combination of Amerika über alles, as usually found in Republican speeches, intertwined with Tinkerbelle’s magic wand spewing bright sparks of new government spending programs. Disingenuous notes were rampant and expected. Crony capitalism was trending. Constitutional considerations weren’t. The blather was insufferable.
Still, there were some mentions and ideas I liked .
- Bin Laden is dead. I think. Good.
- Tweaking the tax code to bring back jobs is a step toward raising tariffs to accomplish the same goal.
- Definitely stop our government from providing any help to moving jobs abroad. That’s a no brainer.
- Making other countries play by the rules of trade.
- Developing our natural gas fields.
- Getting rid of regulations that thwart new business start-ups.
- Restoring Clinton tax levels on the rich.
- Bringing the troops home from Afghanistan that he put in there.
- Helping vets adjust to civilian life.
