It's a shame I missed out on both (specifically the game... WOW that looks like a major hangover!)

High expectations...or unreasonable expectations can be dashed rapidly I guess. Words are never a strong foundation to build anything on...his words can become reality but not overnight and not without some help from his colleagues. Do you and everyone else expect HIM to accomplish everything....in one year? Come on get real....I hate to bring this up, but the MESS this man inherited has been building for over 18 years. But as it was building we all were sitting back getting "fat and happy" while the others were getting RICH at a number of our expenses. and as that was happening the WORDS they were uttering was nothing but lies and dribble that we bought...Quite frankly, I hope this thread does die a quick death becasue it can only point to how shallow our thinging can get.

When the MTV and Oprah followers elect someone that is all bull and no beef, this type of thing happens. He's a rock star, not a Commander in Chief. Do I expect more, your damn right I do. Do I expect miracles, NO. I expect to have a President with his nose to the grindstone, trying to find ways to save jobs, save money, and save our economy. So far we've spent money, lost jobs, and our economy is in the toilet. Is it one man's fault. Nope. It can't be. Is it one party's fault, not a chance, both sides have their greedy agendas and BS they masquerade as betterment for society. Is it his fault he didn't do a damn thing for the first 100 days of his presidency. Yes it is.

On another note, it is not the job of the federal government to pay for college education. In all honesty it shouldn't be the federal governments job to be involved in education period. It wasn't there job for a couple hundred years until the brilliant Jimmy Carter came along and narrowly slipped through the creation of the Dept. Of Education. Basically what he did with this was hand over control from the states and the parents, to special-interest groups and teachers unions. Like the old bumper sticker says, "If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can't, thank a teachers union."

And this has what to do with the SOTU speech? Not being a smart ass, honestly asking.

Since a lot of it was from the STate of the union. Seems that a lot of stuff doesn't get sunk in with some.
