I watched the Barack Obama State of the Union speech last night. Generally i liked what he had to say. He spent a decent amount of his speech focusing on health care. I liked how he also wanted to make sure that the people know he is focusing on created more jobs. When Barack Obama became the new president he was focusing on "change" and said that he had a plan in order to obtain that "change". At this point i don't see much change, everything seems to be the same. The only difference is that Bush is no longer our president, but there are still negative remarks in the news. Obama now is making more promises of innovation and "change". He wants engineers to focus on green energy and green technology to keep a cleaner environment. I agree that we need to find a new source of energy besides oil, etc. He wants to reduce our deficit, by freezing government spending starting in 2011. Why not now? The way things are going, by the time 2011 comes, there will be an excuse to make the date later, and then after that even later. We need to act, and procrastinating wont help. I understand what he is trying to do, but the only way to make any of this happen is to "make it happen," just do it! Don't wait. Action is what we need, and that is what he promised, but we are still a lackadaisical country.
