Excerpt
If every wish ever uttered by a president in the State of the Union address had been granted, we'd be living in a much different America.
Thanks to Richard Nixon, we wouldn't have to import foreign oil for our energy needs. Thanks to Ronald Reagan, we'd have a smaller federal government and a balanced budget. George W. Bush would have solved the dilemma of illegal immigration years ago. And thanks to Barack Obama, we'd have an economic boom, thriving green industries and an education system that even China would envy.
But State of the Union speeches are just that: wish lists. No president gets everything he asks for, even when his own party controls Congress. Just ask Obama.
Especially when House Republicans will concentrate on making Obama a one-term President rather than actually addressing problems of ordinary citizens.
