THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS..THE SOURCES TAKE..

THE STATE OF UNION ADDRESS .JAN 20,2015  THE SOURCES TAKE..
    First of all, like usual , his demeanor, his winks and smiles and clever remarks , was funny and entertaining, like a comedian or actor. oh wait.. He's suppose to be the President of the United States, I have nothing against BO , he's likable , he's funny and he's clever. 
  But he mentions great ideas, paid leave for workers, health care reform, middle class tax cuts , increases taxes on the wealthy. Free education , etc.. But I didn't numbers to substantiate his ideas,, or better yet a systematic plan on how to accomplish these goals,,, or how he going to order or set a meeting with senate to discuss and elaborate more on his ideas and proposals.. I'm sorry ,maybe I'm in the minority of critical thinking's that see assumptions and view fallacies as that.. Just twisted words to make it sound like I'm doing something.. We all have met people that talk alot.. but alot of the times its all about nothing. I mean it sounds good , but has no substance. Its all smoke and mirrors, But that's what happens when people don't get educated, or continue to think for themselves,, Its called critical thinking.. But I'm not surprised , I mean voter apathy, people just giving up.. But guess what when you decide to not partake in the process , than don't complain.. Because you voted or not for the President , or Senators , representatives governors of your states.. Its your fault America.. You get what you pay for,, If you don't participate than don't complain.. Because My argument is this,, if you voted,, you have more of say or I will call you a credible American citizen because you vote,, because you obey the laws, and because you pay your taxes.. and Protect the rights of citizens.. 
 My take.. America,, is that you need to stop whining about things , when you don't partake in voting or writing t your congressman or local Representative.Its your right you duty to know who your heads of state are.. I recall years ago Jay Leno asking the average street person,, simple questions about the US HISTORY,, and laughable that many failed , but I also find it alarming,,, More people know who are the top actors or movies,, over who is the Vice President or Governor of the state , or What are the basic amendments that pertain to them.. Its funny in one case , but also pathetic on the other side..
  A great President is not  Conservative , or a Liberal , or extremist,, a Great President is a Moderte , is a negotiator, is a compromise is a communicator.. Ok.. Its Unfair to Compare our current President to in my humble opinion President Ronald Reagan. He was a College Football player, A Army Air Military Member , A Actor, sportscaster , a Governor of the great state of California,, and finally the Greatest president  I ever knew,, so to speak.. He was bold, he was honest , he was bad tempered, because he cared about this country and didn't take shit from the media or the enemies of the state.. The Military was the strongest ever in American history,, and guess what.. We didn't have as many conflicts that we have now,, Why? because power in numbers,, he also won the cold war without firing a shot. why? because he bankrupt Russia into keeping up with us.. Smart, clever and innovative,, But I know some will say he was arrogant, he was stubborn, and inflexible with his patriotic ideas and thoughts,, But I would have gone to war with that Man because he had the backs of Americans and its military like no other president.. He ruled with a strong fist , be was fair but tough.. He was like your father,,, saying,. Do your best or I will kick you ass.. In other words,, Losing or giving up was not in his nature. I know he may not have been the most intelligent or educated president , but one thing he learned from the military.. You surround yourself with great , smart and experienced adviser's,, and you you never alienated your fellow Democrats or republicans. Like I stated before,, to do well in politics or life , you need to be moderator,, at times to get your ideas and policies to pass,, Its just how things work.. Theirs always going to be a republican house or democratic house,, its called checks and balances.. But its also called being smart about becoming one of the most loved and respected Presidents of all time.. I recall a few times he didn't mind showing true honest anger in public.. If anything, it showed that he really cares, and its not lawyer talk, he was the man of the people,, But enough of that Great Man..
  My final take,,, Its great to have policies and plans,,, but with out data, or numbers to substaniate your findings,, its just talk.. For me,,, I want to not only hear and see the data and numbers, but I also want you to convince me you are truly going to work with Congress t make it happen.. The Congress are educated critical thinkers , that are willing to approve measures,, if you provide them the data, the arguments and facts , that many Americans who have educated themselves want to hear. Its not about criticising a President.. Its called having critical thoughts and ideas.. based on several news reports from ABC NEWS,, The President doesn't followup on his ideas and policies,, and based on his ensure,, I would agree with that,, I mean,, Its sounds great the day He says it, But what happens after the speech? Is he meeting with Representatives,, is he making time to discuss how to get this done?.. Its like the Used car sales man, saying everything you hear,, But a true smart consumer,, follow ups on those assumptions or ideas the man says its true.. Its also called Buyer beware,, Its up to you to buy the car or buy a speakers ideas or thoughts.. When I listen to a speaker ,, is not so much they have to say, but what he or she is saying and what steps are they planning to use to get it done..Everyone Can say lower taxes, free education,, but how are you going to do it? And how is this going to be paid for ?, what programs do you plan to cut? Or What taxes or other taxes that will come of it.. Everyone knows, nothing is free in life, Everything has a price,, ? Its depends how important those ideas are to you..I like what the President presented,, Better VA services, lower taxes for the middle class , and free community college education.. But how do you plan to do that ? and show us numbers ,, Its just common sense and critical thinking many of you had in high school and college courses.. When a person or persons doesn't utilize these skills , your taking chances in your life.. Because I know we all think about things,, especially if it affects us..? We research the homes, the cars, the guns, the clothes, the etc.. We want the best for our money and we want to have things that help us live a better life.. If you don't ,life is miserable and running on emotions and desires,, which is not a great idea.. Lets hope  the policies and plans our President has,, has the merit , the plans of attack and the data that will make it happen.. Because if not,, his legacy will be in question and the future of America will also be affected. If anything, we need cooperation , collaboration , and moderation to make things happen.. Like the beloved Ronald Reagan., he didn't always get it his way, but he knew sometimes in life, in order to keep the peace,, you need to go along to get along , in order to get other agendas passed, Its just makes great decision making.I scratch your back, I will do so some day for you,,Its just human nature,, to help those that helped you,, But if your arrogant ,smug, and just talk with no substance, than the criticisms, and the doubts about your plans, or even your legacy will always be questioned. I'm a cooperator and negotiator of ideas.. I understand that at times,, you have to compromise to make people communicate with you,, I love debates and discussions on politics, cars, sports,, and I respect all opinions,, because we all lived our lives and have experienced or not things people have engaged in.. Some have done things I have never done and vice versa,, because of situation, because of choice, because of our own way of thinking.. But  if anything,, I admire people of any nation that seeks out the truth , seek out justice and seek out your own pursuit of happiness,,, For me Its God , Country and family.. and of course fast cars, fast foods and fast life.I like to have answers now ,, if anything I'm very impatient when it comes to stupidity or ignorance, but that's me.. Not knowing something or not having faith in experts , is not only foolish , but unsafe.. For example.. if your sick,, you go to certified Dr for care,, am I right? You go to a credible mechanic for your car? In life those that take shorts cuts,, may get initial success, but those that take the true long road to success ae the ones that become successes in life.. If anything, I just people to be critical thinkers that look deeper in topics in the news and don't get so emotional , until you see and hear all the facts,, A true critical thinker does that ,, the problem is not enough people challenge the system or make their voices heard,, if that's the case,, then its only you to blame when it comes to the state of affairs in your local or national governments. Be a part of process , not the problem!! Until my next blog.. Be safe and think about whats important in your life..
