So here I sit watching the address Obama made last night (since I fell asleep). And one thing I notice, especially when he is talking about his tax cuts, is that he is actually sticking to campaign promises, almost to a T (like the whole under-$250k bit, which we heard about before he was elected). Obviously, he won’t be able to deliver on everything he talked about due to the current clusterfuck on our hands, but it is nice to know he is at least trying, rather than pulling a bait-and-switch on the American public. I am somewhat skeptical about his claim that we will be the most educated nation by 2020, but then again I am a pretty cynical person who has as much faith in the public’s ability to act intelligent as I do in God (which, if you know me, isn’t much).

Really, the only part of his address I took issue with was the claim that America invented the automobile. Because we didn’t. But other than that, I wish Obama the best in pulling together the shambles of what is left of our national pride after the Bush regime.
