The United States, once an economic superpower, now a crippled nation, unhealthy and unemployeed; pleading to its government for assistance, and waiting impatiently for answers. Eager to layout his plans, standing sturdily and serene in clear-view of the nation's eye, President Barack Obama, in his first State of the Union address, proclaims his promise of change. Preaching the need for brotherhood among politicians, and declaring the changes coming for the taxpaying American worker. He spoke of his administration's diligence in preserving the nation's financial institution, and admitted his failures on similar affairs.
His speech was motivating and heartfelt, giving us the perception that we could rely on him to rebuild this once great nation. However, history has taught us to be wary of one's words. Many before him have stood in front of the nation making similar promises, failing to follow through. President Obama may have the best intentions, but it will take much more than powerful words to rescue this nation. It will only be the President's actions that will demonstrate his plan's ability to produce positive results.
