President Obama called out both sides of Congress for not getting anything done in his first year.He also blasted The Supreme Court for the Campaign Finance Decision.He talked about Pork without using the word and that Bills sent to his desk should not be loaded with it.I was worried that he would try to re-invent himself because of the MA vote and "Health Care" that Congress made into a debacle.He was Bold about his vision for the Country.Only time will tell if Congress is in bed with the Special Interest by the legislation passed for 'We the People".If we see another year like the one that just passed which was Stone Walling all of President Obama's Progressive Agenda than our Country is in the pockets of the "Corporation" plain and simple.We will than know that our legislator's are on the "Campaign Trail" rather than legislating.i didn't want to hear him talk about "Off Shore Drilling" and a "Spending Freeze" but maybe he had to suck-up to the right in order to have a chance at getting some in the right on board with his agenda.I wanted him to talk about "Free Trade and/or No Tariffs" and that "Hard Working American" jobs have been being outsourced to Countries with cheap labor because of "Free Trade and/or No Tariffs" .He would have really been Bold if he talked about raising the taxes on the wealthy up to 50%.All in all his Speech was on target for the Whole.

congress didn't do wrong this past year. Republican
s have been pretty much in power since 1968. Which means corporate america has been in power. 4 years of Jimmy carter, 8 years of Clinton, that's just not much power against a fanatical opponent in the Religious Right which is powered by the jet engines of global businesses . It's like what our soliders in 'Nam or korea were up against - our enemy has an unlimited supply of forces. Ok, this isn't the greatest analogy, but take the jist of the metaphor
Don't forget the 70's movie, Network. "you have meddled with the forces of the Universe..
..there is no United States, no .... there only IBM and xyz corporatio n and abc corporatio n'
