Overall, I liked the President's State of the Union speech. I would have liked President Obama to have pushed more on health care reform, forcing the issue more. (How about this: "House, pass the Senate bill, but I'll hold off on signing as long as possible to give you a chance to get an improved, more bipartisan bill; but if you cannot, the Senate bill will be signed into law.") But that didn't happen.
Nevertheless, this line was the highlight for me:
If the Republican leadership is going to insist that sixty votes in the Senate are required to do any business at all in this town, then the responsibility to govern is now yours as well. Just saying no to everything may be good short-term politics, but it’s not leadership.
