The State of the Union

I do not think that we have an optimistic future because the main words were people, new year, and Americans. I think if these words were used most then Obama must have been not hitting the issues directly and maybe even avoiding them. He talked about economy and businesses which go hand in hand. But President Obama is thinking the wrong things about business and economy. He thinks that the people who have worked hard to be where they are should not get as many benefits as those who may not try a succeed their best or may have failed. He thinks the rish should be heavily taxed and the less fortunate whould not. This will bring down the number of people who want to try harder and make it harder to be successfull.

These are the right things to be thinking about but Mr. Obama goes about in the wrong way. We do need to gain more money to become a more powerful country.

President Bush's speech was based upon terrorism and protecting the nation's people and security, while Obama's is based upon money and the economy. I think that they are both based on the right topics for the time that they were written. It shows that we have lost money but we have also gained a lot more security which was probably worth the money spent. Bush wasn't very concerned about us being a powerful nation because we already were by far. And with the 9/11 attack it was well needed and because bush put the terrorists under control. Obama only needs to worry about out economy so obviously Bush's work has shown. And with the let up on terrorism we have been attacked more and more lately so I think that Obama needs to worry more about that.
