State of the Union

First i would like to say that there is much too many standing ovations and applauses. I did not see the adress on television, but just reading (applause) after every other sentence gets annoying, can imagine pausing and hearing each applause. I thought some good things were that he would like to cut taxes to help single people afford insurance but i don't know how smart it is to leave the governors money to their descression. I also think that doubling the amount of border patrol is a good idea however i think that making it easier for imagrants to come across the border almost defeats the purpose of the border patrol. Whether they are citizens or not, illegal and legal imigrants will continue to come into the contry. I like the fact that the president wants to steer away from foriegn oil and rely more on our own oil. It is easier for terrorists to manipulate the flow of oil when contries like Libia or Iran are in charge of it. I respect the fact that no matter how much the president is ridiculed, he stands behind the things that he chose such as putting troops in Iraq. He, whether he has a choice or not, is supporting the desicion of the war on terror. The rest of the adress is talking about people that do good things and talking about how great the people of America are.
