POTUS on the 2014 State of the Union: Abridged version

Let's empower immigrants.  Let's empower women.  Let's empower workers.  Let's empower voters.  Let's talk peace, not war.

A path to citizenship.  Equal pay for equal work.  Raise the minimum wage.  One American=one vote.  Let's not fear to negotiate with our foes.

Lots of soaring rhetoric and optimism.  Lots (but not nearly enough) of the ideas and platforms that are the backbone of the Democratic Party.  Definite shot in the arm for Democratic hopes for the elections this November.  Really, a pretty decent State of the Union address.

Will it make a difference?  Meh.

Oh--and though the President was too nice (as usual) to say it:  republicans suck.

Peace,
emaycee
