State Of the Union

The State of the Union, was a good speech in itself. President Obama did out line what the issues in America where, but for most failed to really spell out what he was going to do about the issues. This part of his speech wasn't the part that bothered me at all really. The part, or parts i should say, is the part when he criticized the Supreme Court on national television and right in front of their faces. I give him kudos for actually saying it to them, in a way, but the manner in which he did was very declassè. That kind of criticism belongs in house and not on tv where the whole country and then some can see the problems of you and your buddies. I also did not appereicate Obama poking fun at republicans when he talked about "global warming" or as it should be called Climate Change. His manner of tone and sarcasm came off as a bit childish and unnessicary. So some people don't believe in the same thing as you. It really doesn't matter how much evidence you "have" to prove it, it is their belief and being and American you can believe what you want. The final part of Obama's speech that really got under my skin was when he said he wanted to get ride of the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy in the military. I believe that policy is what allows gay people to be in the military without being attacked, by getting ride of the policy it puts those soldiers in more danger. Because while some would like to believe that America is not prejudice against groups of people it still is for some groups. That policy gave homosexuals the ability to go fight for their country and protect them from people who are anti-homosexuals. I really don't think it's a great idea to take something away that helps people.
Now on a different note, I am not here to bash President Obama. He did have some very good ideas in his speech. I believe that we as a country need to work on helping people get jobs, because when people have jobs they make money, and when people have money they tend to spend money, which in the long run helps the US economy. I still don't no how Obama plans to do this without raising taxes, becuase if i remember correctly he doesn't want to raise taxes on the middle class or lower. But honestly he would have to because he can't keep raising the taxes on the rich because let's face it they are rich and will just take their money elsewhere where they can keep it. But i digress, the President did a good job with delivering his State of the Union Speech, expect for those areas talked about above, and I hope that he will do his best to bring this country the best.
