I liked his speech - and this coming from a liberal folks - he gave praise where it was due, tasked the country with change, and has really pulled a divisive group together I believe. His popularity is very high and he has the potential to do a lot of good. My hope is he will do so.

As I looked at the two flight attendants that stopped the bomber, the Green Beret that is still in traction from his wounds, the military men and women sitting in front row seats I teared up - I recall only too vividly the reception we received during the Viet Nam war.

Frankly I am proud to be an American and proud of our President. He's done a good job in my opinion.

And the Minority Leader's post speech was positive also. After all of the negativity in the political arena it is good to see both sides agreeing on the goals. Maybe not the path there - but the goals are worthy ones.
