Yes, that time of the year has come, and Americans should be eagerly waiting President Barak Obama's State of the Union Address tonight at 9pm EST. I believe it is important that every American, no matter what age, should sit down and at least listen to the first 10-15 minutes of President Obama's speech to see what he has in store for our country this year. We are going through a critical time, our country finances in shambles, terrorism a high risk, and the healthcare situation a mess, Obama will look to answer most of those questions. Some key points to listen to are:
1. Economy- After one of the most biggest financial disasters in our time, Obama will look to address the economy. What about job creation? The housing situation? And Wall Street's refusal to consider main street? What do we do to fix all of this? These are critical quesitons that need answers.
2. Healthcare- With Obama's newest healthcare bill receiving public and government criticism, it should be interesting to see what he plans next. Healthcare is a huge problem in this country, and should be a major priority for the President.
3. Terrorism- After the botched attack on Christmas to blow up an airline with explosives, America needs to take a second look at its security measures. What can be improved? Bin Laden's latest video claimed responsibility for the plotted attack. Is Al-Quadea still a threat?
4. The War in Iraq & Afghanistan- Obama's plan to send 30,000 troops to Afghanistan could be risky. In a mountaneous region and with little protection, our troops are in danger. What about Iraq's progression as an independent nation?
One of the biggest State of the Unions that I can think of, I am excited to see what comes of it. I'll be blogging tomorrow with my reactions and opinions.
