OBAMA+Post-Secondary Education=Please Implement!!!!!

$10,000 tax credit for four years of college and increased grants!!!! Not to mention cutting down on the percentages of loan paybacks, especially if going into public service post graduation. Obama's ideas on post-secondary education have always appealed to me, and I would love to see the US with a more European educational monetary credit system!!!

BOLD STATEMENT

"We need to export more of our goods...."

I agree

How long should America put its future on hold?

I have been asking myself this question all year....and it has been directed at President Obama. We are supposed to be a progressive country, being the guiding light for political and social reform; however, President Obama has yet to close Guantanamo, cut down on troops, or protect the rights of the LGBT community!!!!

Obama is not short on ideas

Here are some ideas which Obama is proposing only 15 minutes into his address:

-Modest fee for banks to pay back to tax payers

-tax cuts, powered by the recovery act (stimulus bill)

-Financing is difficult for small businesses….30 billion to help community banks give loans to small businesses

-small business tax credit….hire workers or raise wages

-No capital gains tax on small business investment

-High speed railway (I hope they don't hire the Chinese again)

Pelosi....so agile for an old woman

In standard Pelosi fashion, the Speaker of the House is once again bobbing up and down like a buoy washing down a rapid river.

The President Begins

As Obama's cool, yet stern face appeared on the camera once again, he began speaking with an elegance matched only by what I might describe as the 'Voice of God' (aka Don La Fontaine). His first utterance is that of history, recalling crucial moments within the United States' past and tying them to present day hardships.

State of the Union

Tonight the President will attempt to recapture the hearts and minds of the citizens which have abandoned their hopes for him over this past year. It seems only appropriate that I use the President's annual address to reinvigorate this barren blog. So, over the next hour or so I will be posting live updates on the State of the Union, pointing out my likes and dislikes, and following it up with comments on the Republicans response.
