It's obvious that BA's "Grand Vision" was very centrified, and that he recognized the fact that he just can't run roughshod over American taxpayers any longer. BTW, I've heard that it would take well over a million new jobs each month just to keep things at a level equal to normal growth.
Good thing he stayed away from that mainstay Democrat talking point as well: additional gun control laws. After all, there's already 20,000 on the books, and far as I know, it's already a real bad felony to shoot someone in the head! But if we outlaw it, then we'll all be a lot safer, huh?
And 80% access to hi speed rail? This is not Japan, with everything about 14 miles from each other. It would still take over 2 days to train from Seattle to NYC, with many many stops for fuel, pick-ups, etc. As well, the entire passenger rail lines would have to be specially built; you can't run fast trains on slow freight lines. Waaaay too slow for this massive nation.
Anyhow, we'll see. Barak's got a real difficult job, one that Wall Street greed got us into, but then he just bought them all off so they could go off on expensive weekends. Too bad we lowly taxpayers have to foot the bill.
Most of his high speed rail projects are useless and a waste of my money.
Under his failures why would or how could anyone afford to even take a train to no where? With little to no money under his watch who could afford to take a train and mostly where would they be going? Surely not to work under his ways.

I give him a B+. The speech had the right tone. But lacking on some specifics (but that typical in the state of the union address.)
I give the Congress and company a C- mainly because I can't stand phony/scripted applause.
