The State of the Union Address

It just occurred to me that I've already complained about the bronchitis crap, so I'm making another post, even though there is no doubt an excess of blog entries discussing the State of the Union last night. But nevertheless, I'm a super nerd and am going to talk about it anyway. 

I less want to talk about the policy (even though that's fascinating) and more about Obama's ballsy move of directly telling congress, and indeed all of America, that he's willing to sidestep congress in order to push through his adgenda. 

While this may feel like a direct violation of everything the founding fathers hoped for in a president, I find his energy encouraging. Additionally, I think Hamilton would strongly agree as well.

I mean, Federalist #70 talks almost exclusively of energy in the executive, an that is exactly what Obama is doing. 

I respect him greatly for being willing to take matters into his own hands in order to do what's best for the American people. 

It's ballsy and honest and so delightfully apolitical.
