State of The Union: Objective Jobs or Reelection?

not sure it will make any difference but it was nice to see the two sides at least sit together.

Myrtle,

Good to see you!

Bill

I think re election motives are in the back of their minds starting on Day 2 of the presidency!

Thanks for sharing... let the race begin.

cheers

They are wasting our resources. They should realize that, not on funding other's war.

I didn't watch the propaganda fest! (Haven't for several years.) We need more jobs but don't need the government "investment". They are the only ones that spend ten times the cost of a single job to create a single job - let the private sector do it without all of the regulations and paperwork. We also need to get rid of the Unionacracy! 

Mirela, I watched the video and he made some interesting points.  I didn't watch the State of the Union because I knew it would all be phony and completely geared to reelection.

Pooh!

They're all the same.

We need to see what we can do to correct the problems we have with the folks that are currently in Washington and if they don't do what we want, then we need to throw them all out and start over. That's what the Tea Party was all about.

I know, it ain't practicle to send all the bad apples home but we absolutely have to start somewhere. Question is, where?

Obviously change isn't going to happen by putting the guy in the White House back in there for another four years in 2012. That's for sure!

The unfortunate fact is that I am actually old enough to remember when the Office of the President was a revered institution and a Congressman owed his duty to the citizenry.

A politician's first job is to get elected, his/her second job is to get re-elected, we have to hope somewhere down the list is to represent the people who got them in to the job.

I do not care what they call it but no one has been focused on jobs.  Without them we cannot get anywhere.
