State of the Union Address

So last night I watched the Presidents State of the Union speech and I was glad to hear the tone it took. I had been feeling like he wasn't doing all he could do and now we had lost some of the peoples will. Last night he talked about all of these programs that helped stave off a recession and I know it HAD to be done but us working poor don't really see where it's helping us. I am really trying hard not to criticize him because he was handed this mess that took 8 plus years to make and expect him to fix it in 1 yr. but like a friend said that is 1/4 of your time gone. Trying to appease the GOP is not going to happen and now that we no longer have the majority in the Senate we can hang health care up. My hubby has diabetes and it would be a pre-existing condition and we have been in that position where I had to wait a whole year before he could get insurance to cover all things related to his care when I started a new job because of it. He can't help that he still needed insulin and we had to pay out of pocket for it. I am working at a job that told us, the employees, we will not be getting a raise in pay until maybe 2014. Now we haven't had one in the last 2 yrs so that will be 6 yrs with NO RAISES. I guess I should be glad I have a job, right? Businesses know that and are doing whatever they like to there employees because they know it's hard out there and any piece of job is better then none at all.

I just hope they listen to him when he said WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF WASHINGTON'S BICKERING!! I am so tired of both sides fighting and never getting anything done. We NEED them to get shit done. So like everyone else I will be waiting and watching.

What did you think of the speech? How do you feel about it? Do believe we can get anything done or it all talk? Let me know

Speak on it!
