President Obama's Budget Request Speech at NOVA

I happened to catch the live TV broadcast of President Obama's Budget Request speech at the Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale.

There are three things I managed to get from that speech.

1. President Obama is a phenomenal orator. He held the audience captive for the whole 30 minute session with his address.
2. The guy has plenty of common sense and is not afraid to use it, no matter what his detractors might say about his comments.
3. If the stuff he was talking about falls into place as planned, America is going to be on the up again, and very soon.

I am not American and have no political affiliation with that country, so I am observing as an outsider. I wish Obama and the USA good luck; I hope the nation and its people will be able to see what they could achieve if they put their minds to it.
