Obama Speech Outlines Agenda

I appreciated the thoughtfulness and authenticity of President Obama's speech.

I blanch at both parties’ grandiose promises.

New York Times Op-Ed columnist, David Brooks, commented that he was disappointed that there was no grand vision and Obama’s speech proposals were too incremental.

The reality is: President Obama has already laid the foundation for his proposals, and now he needs to perfect them by attacking healthcare costs, simplifying the tax codes, keeping the recovery on track, and keeping a cool head on foreign affairs.

President Clinton clearly delineated the choice between candidate Romney, a man who knows how to create personal wealth by outsourcing and banking offshore, and President Obama, who knows how to create national wealth by investing in the well-being of all Americans and bulking up our infrastructure.
