I think we're doing alright, but there's plenty of work to be done. Everyone seems to be so cynical, always talking about the decline of America. I don't think we really have. I'm not sure how much we've progressed, but it is human nature to idealize the past. We simply don't remember what was wrong with it. I think our union is in need of a resurgence of citizenship and meaningful political dialogue. In such divided times, we need re-learn how to work together as a nation to create a better future for ourselves and our children.

State of the what? Let's see, 28%, 31%, 33%, 35%. That pretty much sums up the State of the President -- or, at least, of his ever more dismal approval ratings in four of the latest major polls (and don't even mention his state of approval in similar nose-diving polls abroad). Only two Presidents, on the eve of a State of the Union Address have ever scored lower -- and one was Richard Nixon at 26%, seven months before he resigned his Presidency. (The other was Truman at 23% and mired i! n the Korean War.) Unbelievably enough, those aren't even the worst figures around for this administration. Try 26%, 29%, 29%, 30%; that's about how many Americans now think any presidential State of Iraq plan or strategy makes the slightest sense according to polls by Newsweek, CBS, the Washington Post/ABC News, and NBC/the Wall Street Journal. A little lower and you're in the polling basement, the sort of place not normally accessible even to a bunker-busting President.
We may still be stumbling around in the dark, struggling to get a grip on what the administration is doing, but we are getting nearer to the destination; this, then, is decidedly not a good time for Congress to be slip-slidin' away. On the contrary, wouldn't this be a good time to reach for a subpoena?

Well since the state of the union is going to be a platform to launch a socialized healthcare, not good?

The land of opportunity!
The land of the free and the Home of the Brave!
We need to get back to basics and stop policing the world!
