I completely agree with these coments from the State of the Union Address:
".? There are a whole lot of folks in this chamber ? good people ? who would like to see more cooperation, would like to see a more elevated debate in Washington but feel trapped by the imperatives of getting elected, by the noise coming out of your base. I know; you?ve told me. It?s the worst-kept secret in Washington. And a lot of you aren?t enjoying being trapped in that kind of rancor.
But that means if we want a better politics ? and I?m addressing the American people now ? if we want a better politics, it?s not enough just to change a congressman or change a senator or even change a president. We have to change the system to reflect our better selves.
I think we?ve got to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can pick their voters and not the other way around.
Let a bipartisan group do it.
I believe we?ve got to reduce the influence of money in our politics, so that a handful of families or hidden interests can?t bankroll our elections.?

Excellent points! 

Emperor of Kingwood --- 9 years ago -

The most positive thing about it is that its this POTUS' last one. 

dogs --- 9 years ago -

He has raised so much money, it's ridiculous.

What we need is CONGRESSIONAL TERM LIMITS! Work in Congress for 6 years, then go out in the work force, get a real job and see how your laws affect the general population. Then, run again if you want to. 

texaslady --- 9 years ago -

Congressional term limits are a great idea, but we still need to legislation to prevent big business/special interest from buying candidates out; example, campaign finance reforms. However, the politicians we have don't seem to want that, it's money in their pockets. I'm talking about Republican and Democrats both. We did't get in this mess because of the actions of any President or party. I am so tired of all the "hate mongering" about parties and leadership. Politics has become so partisan that there is little effort develop constructive legislation for the good of the people. I hope some smart, honest people come up with ways to reform the political system.

Obama's goal is to be the Secretary General of the UN. With all the apologizing he's done to the world for the US he could be a shoe in. You know with the Nobel Peace Prize and all. 

texaslady --- 9 years ago -

Good example! Lets all Obama bash! People are in a "hater rut". I don't think he is a wonderful President, but that is not the core issue of our corrupt political system. We need to figure out how to improve our political system. When Obama does go out of office there will be so many American people at a loss of what to talk about and who to bash. Lets try to come up with some solutions without using the word Obama or President.

There will never be a loss of who to bash, This board is great at finding ones to bash, both sides...

Obama is a name. Not a word.

It was a good SOTUS 

I_won't_tell --- 9 years ago -

Oh ha ha is a horrible POTUS 

mutton --- 9 years ago -

Obama is a name alright...lol 

FANCY PANTS --- 9 years ago -

What positive points? There were none! There have been no positive points in bo's presidency since he got into office. All he has done is tear down this country. 

steinhoister2016 --- 9 years ago -

I don't feel torn down at all...didn't during bush's last year either...weird. 

Butterbean --- 9 years ago -

I don't feel torn down at all

Neither do I. I'm richer, healthier, and happier than I've ever been.

Even after today's market sell off.

The most positive thing about his State of the Union Address is that it's his last one.

Even after today's market sell off.

You're unbelievably naive if you think the latest market activity doesn't affect you in one way or another.
