State of the Union, Obama, Hillary

Rah Rah, yeah team, we'll get 'em next season, yada yada yada. If you haven't already guessed - that was about the sum of Obama's State of the Union address. I think it will be mitigated by his statement a few days ago that he would rather be a one-term President (not really out of context). The Republican Senators looked really grumpy as they stoically sat, frowned and otherwise looked uncomfortable as everyone else (with the exception of the Supreme Court) gave numerous stand-up ovations. Kinda like the Oscars . . . Have to admit, the guy is a good talker. Never once did he mention Hillary's efforts in her first 200k miles of travelling diplomacy. Has she been set aside as a political burden - for one term according to her. I am sure that the media pundits will have a field day analysing the speech. I have to think of it only as a pep talk: chided the opposition party, threw a zinger at the Supreme Court Justices, and called for new programs for the benefit of main street - not wall street and the big banks. Justice Ginzburg sat with her head down - wonder if she was asleep? Anyway, we'll see what happens over the next year. Jobs, economy, and war wind-downs have set the stage. Obama is still blaming the prior administration. He now has the need to take real charge, change the stuff that really needs changing, accept the stuff that he can't change (politics?), and know the difference between the two.
