The State of the Nation speech was all about re-election, just as everyone expected it to be....But---the one thing President Obama said that really made sense was in regards to shipping jobs overseas, don't have the exact quote but it was to the effect that given a level playing field, US businesses can produce a higher quality product and sell it on the world market at a competitive price.

Now, if some REAL leaders would step forward and pass some legislation to level out that playing field, this country would outproduce and outperform any other country in the world, the workers would have a decent wage, the company would make a respectable profit, and unemployment would go down to an acceptable level..... If those people would step forward with a workable plan to get us there, they'd sure as heck get my vote come November!!!!!!!
