Thoughts on the State of the Union Address

I live-blogged President Obama’s State of the Union Address (video or transcript) in a casual way with my friend. However, here were my main favorite and surprising points:

• Ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
• Bringing home the troops from Iraq by the end of August
• Ending tax breaks to companies that send our jobs overseas (NAFTA devastated NC when our jobs slipped away to foreign shores)
• Graduates wouldn’t pay more than 10% of their income towards their school loans per year
• The smackdown on health care reform being dragged out. We NEED health care in this country!
• JOBS JOBS JOBS
