Immediate Feedback to the President's Address to the Congress was that it was well delivered and it struck some solid notes. Of course, Politifact will probably have a field day with all the out of context and inaccurate remarks.
What is interesting by in the playback of the President's comments and pundit commentary is the lack of a sense of urgency. If the economy is a "mess" that the President maintains, where is the written proposal on the trillion dollar infrastructure plan. Where are the written ideas on sensible tax reform that could stimulate real long-term economic growth? Where are the fixes to Obamacare that could attract bipartisan support?
Do not misinterpret the above comments. President Obama tried to repeatedly get infrastructure projects enacted. It was the President Trump's Party that resisted and obstructed. It was President Obama that offered to work with both parties on sensible tax reform ideas that would revitalize the economy but it was President Trump's Party that resisted and obstructed. It was President Obama that supported fixes and adjustments to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare for those that did not know) but it was President Trump's Party that resisted and obstructed. Finally, it was President Obama who inherited a real "mess" in the Great Recession and Democrats passed measures to save our country like the Stimulus Plan, the Auto Bail Out, and yes the Affordable Care Act. It was President Trump's Party that mostly played politics and stayed on the sidelines.
People in this country, especially those who bought into the con that is the Trump Presidency, need to wake up and not reward the President's Party that has done nothing to help them move our country forward.
