State of the Union Address 2007

[Kyle]

I know that politics are not discussed that much here on CD but what were your reactions to the speech if you watched it?


My $0.02 worth is that the Speech was much better then last years, He only stumbled on one word during the whole speech and it was very nice to see The President talk about specific people and events during the speech that has not been done by the past few Presidents.

The plan to decrees oil/ gas usage by 20% over the next 10 years seems like it could be doable but will be an up hill battle. President Bush now wants to give billions of dollars to companys that will develop new alternitive fuel and energny sources this could be a great new opperinuity for engeneers and future ones to jump on that bandwagon and invent.

The No Child Left Behind law that President Clinton started is planned to be renewed, This program has had an effect on all of us throught High school.


The rest of the speech had to do with better health care system on a federal level and also on a state and local level with tax discounts for the uninsured and poorly insured.
The President also called for huge tax cuts, normal for a state of the union address, and also that the National Dept could be payed off within the next 5-10 years.

I am upset that the President did not bring up anything about Math and Science like he did last year and also talked nothing about education other then the No Child Left Behind law.

What dose everyone else think?
