What I Liked About The SOTU

While i would give the overall speech last night a C, there were however a few things that i did like.

First let me get off what i didn't like.

-Blame Bush Tactics
-Lying about the GOP just voting no and not offering up other ideas on health care reform
-The stimulus was a 'success' it was no such thing
-When he lied about his tax cuts
-When he stated that we should tax the bank fees and get back the money that the government let loose
-When he said "overwhelming scientific evidence of global warming." There is almost no science for it, yet more against it.
-When he called for his college tax credit, which will essentially just be further subsidizing colleges.
-Many more things

Now What i DID LIKE:
-He talked a lot about energy, and specifically mentioned nuclear energy plants, and off-shore drilling
-He did say that he will cut the small business capital gains tax. Great!!!
-He said he would freeze non-discretionary federal spending for three years!! YAY!! (although i have explained this a little bit in previous post and it's not what it says it is but it's better than the spending they're doing now.
-I liked him talking about cutting spending, not fussing over the election but the people.

That's about it.
