State of the Union Address

President Obama started off talking about how we should have a better life for our children.  Which is true, because our children today do not live good lives. We need to teach our kids hard work and discipline.  They have now launched a new thing called 'Race to the Top' instead of 'No child left behind' because he thought it was most meaningful in our public generation. 

He then goes on talking about teachers, and how we need to teach the people to treat the teachers with the same level of respect as you would want.  "If you want to make the life a child better, become a teacher, your country needs you!"

China and India felt like they could challenge the U.S. and start teaching their children more to be more educated that us, but then President Obama said it was good, because he likes the challenge.  He introduced the "Idea" and that idea would be to start shaping each other more and take on challenges that will take decades to make.  He urges democrats and republicans to work together more.  President Obama also stated that, "The future is not a gift, it is an achievement".

We finally passed the health reform...FINALLY!! and he also stated that we should fix what we are fixing and lets move forward.  Now is the time to act, we should give our people a government that is more efficient.

And in his last words of the speech, he stated, "Because of our people, America is strong!"

I thought he gave a good speech, and hopefully with the things that he has said, it actually comes true.
