President Obama today made what I consider to be a good speech on the direction he would like to see our country go, and how he believes we should get there. As someone who has been critical of many of Mr. Obama's past decisions (No public option for health care, tax cuts for the wealthy, lack of direction in Afghanistan, and even his recent capitulation on the 2011 budget) I am relieved to see him drawing the preverbal line in the sand in regards to what he is willing to do to pass a budget in 2012 (and also perhaps where he will stand on the debt ceiling issue). The Republican response to the presidents speech was both predictable and sad.
