It was also good to hear him speak to the public's expectations of him at the end. Since the Primaries, Obama has had this almost "savior" or "Messiah" type of tag affixed to him. He addressed that tonight. He is just one man. The world can't expect one man to fix everything in a matter of a year and seven days. It's not going to happen unless we get up off of our asses and start making a change ourselves. Health care reform, trillion dollar deficit, bringing all of our troops home from Iraq, putting 23 million people to work....you can't just wave your "Obama Wand" and make these things happen tomorrow. Give the guy a chance. We gave him four years. Give him four years. Why are we all freaking out after 12 months and acting like it's the end of the world? Do what you can to make that change happen. In the meantime, keep doing what you're doing Mr. President.

This Just In: "Hope Still Alive"
After tonight's SOTU, I still believe in change. The President came out humble, then after reading his hand, went all in. Even finished with the DADT card at the end. I especially liked his boldness when he was explaining his freeze on discretionary spending and looked over at the Republicans and said 'I'm afraid that means there isn't going to be room on the budget for those tax cuts for the big oil companies and for the wealthiest 1% of Americans.' PRICELESS .
