Barack Obamas first State of the Union Address

"Our constitution declares that from time to time the president shall give to congress information about the state of our union, for 220 years our leaders have fulfilled this duty"



"We recovered most of the money we spent bailing out the banks, most but not all, to get back the rest I have proposed a fee on the biggest banks. Now I know that wall street is not keen on this idea, but if these firms can afford to hand out big bonuses again they can afford a modest fee to pay back the tax payers that rescued them in their time of need"

-Barack Obama


Obama's speech last week did catch me up to date with all the things that he is trying to change about America, but it also makes you want most of it now.... I guess that is why he later said " I never said change would come easily or that I could do it alone." Two of the biggest things that he mentioned and that I want now are to not give tax breaks to companies that outsource but to the companies that stay within out boarders and to STOP INSURANCE CARE ABUSSES....it makes me wonder if that is possible living in a country that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer....
