State of the Union: A Hopeful, Competitive and Oil Addicted America - But No Real Live Mermaids at SeaWorld - Comments Page 3

A very positive State of the Union Address, but not full of major revelations or great new ideas, except perhaps on energy policy.

Like many around the nation I watched the President's State of the Union Address eager to hear something interesting, but was largely disappointed.
