That. That was an inspiring speech. President Obama came out swinging at the extremely slow and damaging idiocy which has now plagued America for so many years. Obama seemed to take his fight to Congress through a quote by Emerson:
~Action is with the scholar subordinate, but it is essential. Without it, he is not yet man. Without it, thought can never ripen into truth ~
President Obama made a call to action, and made it clear that he, himself, is ready to act. This is a position that, in the past, has not been seen because he has been too willing for compromise. I want to see him make good on that end.
Moreover, the president spoke a lot of truth. The fact is, we are still, as a country, suffering; however, we are not as far gone as we were two years ago. As a matter of fact, we can come out on top if we put our minds to working together, unified, for the overall good of each other.
As a concerned American, I am happy to see my president being passionate. It is important at this day in time to have strength coming from the people who we look for to lead. I truly feel that, for the first time in his presidency, President Obama is ready to take up his position as the true champion for the people (that he talked about in his last campaign) for the next five years. I look forward to it.
