State of the Union Shows Hope for the Future

Obama gave the State of the Union speech last night, and it was beyond promising. Obama has made many successes as President, even in a time of economic disasters and plummeting employment rates. The State of the Union notes just that, and what Obama is planning on doing next. Viewable here, the video states that Obama has helped create over 3.2 million jobs in private sectors.
He also speaks of moving the final troops out of Iraq, and necessary quality education for all students of America. I agree with both of these decisions. America has other priorities for the military than just Iraq, things with more importance such as genocide in Darfur or the Palestine-Israeli conflict, situations that definitely NEED military aid. And when it comes to education, everyone as a U.S. citizen deserves the right to one, as well as one of equal quality. I don't know how feasible this idea is for him, especially since he as president needs to focus on things on a much larger spectrum. He wouldn't truly be able to control what's being taught or by whom, but his stress on the subject as well as his willing to do anything to improve it should be respected and taken into account in this upcoming election
All of these accomplishments and interesting information that deems valid might be biased, however. This is pretty much another campaign speech for the President, to give him a second chance. The speech will obviously have a pro-Obama bias and persuasive rhetoric. Who knows what will happen?
Also note how serious John Bayner looks throughout the entire speech, maybe he fears another term with Obama as President? Only time will tell.
