The State of Reality

I listened to the State of the Union Address last night. Most noteworthy to me: President Obama, who has been told many-a-time that his goals are too broad and too ambitious, may have actually widened his agenda. He addressed just about everything. I think I'm going to go back to the address, make a list of all the "to do's" in that speech, and keep track over the next 3 years.

Overall, I think I would like if he did what he talked about in his speech. I feel like I just had my wish list read by Santa and he told me I was going to get the whole list of goodies. So, by all means go for it.

I have my reservations. The problem with ambitious agendas is that when you do many things 25% instead of one thing 100%, you often get a bunch of jobs completed 25% well instead of 1 thing done really well. But by all means, go for it. You've made your speech. It was lovely, as was the last one and the one before that. Now I'd like to see it actually happen.
