You know, and as he talked about the things we have yet to achieve, for some of those in our country still struggling, living in poverty, we need to find them, get them skills, find them jobs. So i thought this was a great speech, and my only disappointment was to see the partisan divide on the floor where time after time, Standing Ovations by our republicans, and i think with the exception of joe manson from west virginia, the rest of the democrats sat on their hands. I will use the word disappointing. The president
