The State of the Union

As you all know the State of the Union was given last night by Barack Obama. Supposedly he's the President or something? Here are a few thoughts.
I think trains are fun to ride in and I hope they build some more soon.
I find Barack really easy to agree with when he gives speeches, and that is why I will be fully endorsing him in 2012. Unless a Republican decides to enter the race.
Apparently politicians don't get out much, because that smoked salmon joke wasn't that funny.
I'm not sure about this one, but I think John Boehner needed to use the restroom during the whole speech.
Those military guys seemed really happy about the Don't Ask, Don't Tell thing.
I think that was the first time I heard a liberal mention the idea of supporting Tort Reform. Hopefully he follows through on that one, or maybe not, I am going to Law School...
Well needless to say the State of the Union is always kind of fluffy, so we'll just have to wait and see how things go.
