State of the Union blog

Dear President Obama,
After listening to your State of the Union address tonight, you have me truly convinced that the United States has picked an astonishing leader. The stories about young kids writing to you about their parents not being able to work got to core of me, but hearing how many Americans you have given jobs to today turned my sorrow into joy. Most importantly, you touched on the subject of the bipartisanship that has continiously been going on. But, you know that the American, "people deserve a government that embodies their strength." When you stated this it made me realize that every American counts, and as a whole we are known as a country that never backs down, no matter how hard the times may be.
You cut taxes for a total of 8 million Amercans: first time home buyers, small businesses, and Americans paying for college. This left people with more money to pay for gas, clothes, etc...Therefore this helped the whole cycle in general in improving the economy. This plan is very intelligent yet seems so simple, which a majority of Americans can grasp, and realize what a great president you are.
To get to the issue of the banks, and all the horrible things they have done, you turn a new light upon them. You told your plan of how you proposed a fee to the biggest banks, and big businesses will pay back their taxpayers that helped them when they were in a rut. As you said, these big businesses do have the money to pay their taxpayers back since they gave out large bonuses to their own workers. I agree completely with you, and the banks should learn once and for all that they don't control the economy, you do.
One last topic that I thought you spoke very strongly on was not to wait any longer. Washington has told us for years and years to wait for change, but we are not going to stand beside anymore. As you said, China isn't waiting, they are proceeding forward each day: "I don't accept second place for the U.S." I believe in you, I believe in the two parties as a whole, and I believe all Americans will work as one to become the greatest nation possible.
