I AM an unenrolled voter. President Obama did not say anything in his State of the Union address that he should not have said long before, and he could not list a single achievement. He chided the Republicans in attendance, and made a misguided attack on the Supreme Court of the United States, by calling for legislation around its recent ruling on campaign spending. He promised to open up the rolls in the military to special interests, which should be the military’s call.
President Obama has a long way to go, and continuing to put down traditional American values will not get him far. The nation has woken up, but the current leadership has not. There is still time for the president to lead and prosper. However, his State of the Union address was unconvincing as to his willingness to put country first.
