I hope the President gives a speech with vision.

It's not really about Mitt Romney - it is about the rest of America. It is about the poor, the homeless, the jobless, those on food stamps, and all those that have been sliding further and further behind. At its core, it is about equality. It is about fairness. It is about caring for our fellow man.

I hope the President draws a clear distinction between the Democratic and Republican Parties. We do not want to look behind us - we wish to look ahead. We do not wish to be a Party of hate and venom. But we are willing to take our side to the American people. We are not afraid to let people vote. We believe in democracy.

bring the country back really fast. Now, I might have made that up cause I'm getting old and tend to do things like that, but if it is true I wish he would hammer than home to every American in this country. 3% is pocket change to the rich.

telling us all what he plans on doing. The problem is, will he have a Congress to help or hurt. He must put the GOP Congress in the center of the bullseye. And I trust him to do both.
