As I watched the state of the union address I laughed and got very angry. The way Obama speaks is as if he was speaking to a bunch of 3rd graders (most Americans need to be talked to like that). He spoke of health care reform and education the most. He said that we need to use more renewable energy and stop tax breaks for the rich. All of this is well and good except for the fact that the people he was talking about are the ones that don't agree.
Obama spoke of education and how us students have to graduate high school and then college. Dropping out is no longer an option, he said. I think this is crap. It's one of our (many) freedoms to do that. If we want to drop out then that is our choice. Then Obama said that we'd be failing our country if we did not graduate. That's B.S. Most of the time it's the country that fails us. The country's government pushes us to hard so we either "lock-up" or revolt. Believe it or not but it's not our fault all of the time.
When Obama began talking about the American people I laughed. He said that the American people don't do what's easy, they do what's necessary. Ha! That's one of the biggest miss conceptions; most self-centered, narcissistic thing most anyone could ever say. We are a country of "get rich quick", "we're the greatest", fat and lazy slobs. We don't care about what's necessary or what's right. We do the easiest, most cost effective thing we can.
