Obama speech

Hi

This evening President Obama addressed a session of Congress. The speech was hyped as a "job creation speech". My thoughts on the speech.

The delivery was excellent, rousing, animated and called for Congress to pass the proposed legislation. What was missing was the details, what gives? We got Obamacare without any discussion, do we need another "pig in a pole?" I hope that the congress is smart enough to really weigh the provisions of this or any bill before passing such bill. My take is that the congress should be an equal partner with the president and bills should be fully aired, discussed and the effects of such legislation should be carefully thought through. Only then will we have a good piece of legislation.

There was some talk of tweaking the tax code, great, we should dump the present code in favor of a flat or fair tax. I noticed that Mr Immelt, head of GE was sitting by Hillary Clinton. Mr Immelt, the head of GE, the company that pays no federal income taxes and has just exported jobs to China. Mr Obama you denied listening to Reverend Wright, you claim you did not hear Jimmy Hoffa use a derogatory expression to describe the political opposition, can we infer that you are unaware of the fact that GE pays no taxes? Please tell us what yo do know.

Another aspect of this so called "jobs creation bill" is that I did not hear any mention of reducing bureaucratic oversight. This is the real job crusher. If the president would reign in his lackeys who run the various agencies we would not be having this ind of problem creating jobs. Layers of control only lead to higher unemployment so I say let's get rid of the bureaucracy and watch economic growth. The American people deserve this. Point- Boeing wants to erect a pant in South Carolina, bureaucrats are stopping this and trying to force Boeing into North Carolina. What is the difference where the jobs are created, Mr Obama wake up and smell the roses.

On a positive note I ask that you continue to pray for our troops.
GOD Bless
