Obama said that he wants to keep the largest military the
world has ever seen, but cut Medicare and Social Security, Why? If the world wants
a Global Police Force the every nation should pay for it, not just the American
Tax payer. The trouble is that is the only part of the speech where he may get
Republican votes. There is usually only about 50% of the American people who
vote, there are many reasons for this, some are just too lazy and don’t care,
some think it is a protest (a protest nobody notices), but many others don’t
vote because they are not given anybody to vote for, when both parties take a similar
positions of important issues.
There were many good parts of Obama’s speech too, most
without detail like Congress passing the American Job Act, which the failed to
do during Obama’s first term, Immigration Reform, Gun Control and tying the minimum
wage to inflation, raising it now to $9.00 an hour. All these issues should be
passed by Congress, but won’t unless the American people pressure their
Congressperson and Senators to do so, make your protests heard by writing to
your representatives and let them know how you feel about the issues that
concern you.
