Obama's State of the Union Address: Successful?


During his recent State of the Union address, President Obama reiterated many of the themes from his campaign; calling for change and condemning partisanship in Washington, while still maintaining a confidence in America's future.
The President stated:
I campaigned on the promise of change, change we can believe in...Right now, I know there are many Americans who aren't sure if they still believe we can change, or that I can deliver it. But remember this: I never suggested that change would be easy or that I could do it alone.

Although some were encouraged by his words, many were left skeptical about the promise of change. Recent polls suggest that much of Obama's popularity has faded. However, I believe that he still has a good chance of reclaiming the support he once had. After all, there is only so much one person can do alone-even the president. We must all take account for our actions, and do our part to help.
