OBAMA: Speech leaves us speechless

Did everyone get from Obama what I got during the State of the Union speech? I got that he wants us to abandon oil and coal and figure out how to make Green technology work despite the fact that people aren't buying hybrid cars, despite the fact that Green factories are closing all over the nation and people are losing their Green jobs, and despite the fact that coal and oil make the U.S. a lot of money and employ a lot of people.

I also got that he wants to use taxpayer money to fund college for everyone and he wants to cap tuition. Well where is the rest of the money going to come from? Oh yeah, I know: taxes. Additionally, what good is college when there are no jobs and jobs you want to create are in a field that is failing? Does it have something to do with indoctrination?

I got that he wants to legalize illegal immigrants because in some cases "it's not their fault." Well, do they know they aren't citizens and that they are costing Americans money? I bet they do. Do they know they aren't in the U.S. legally? I bet they do.

And finally I got that he wants us to try to be the best even though government is impeding business and growth every step of the way through regulation and taxes. And again, I got that Obama doesn't like banks and rich people unless those rich people are Progressive Democrats, union bosses or socialist elites. Does that about sum it up? Did I miss anything?
