President Obama gave his State of the Union Address last night. All members sat with one another regardless of which political party he or she belonged to: John Kerry was sitting beside John McCain for example. It was a bit ironic that the two were both losing presidential candidates.
Obama gave a very memorable speech which really showed that he was trying to bring Republicans and Democrats together.
But more importantly than that the President truly showed a yearning for bipartisanship and support between the parties, and it was really a powerful message that came across.
Of course the GOP was critical afterwards, like always - but it's undoubtable that the President spoke quite eloquently and spoke of issues that were truly important to both parties; creating more jobs, pushing for clean energy, the need for fiscal responsibility, etc.
CNN's poll shows that the majority believes that President Obama gave a good speech, but that is only based on those who visited and voted at CNN.com.
Now people must wait and see how things change in lieu of this speech.
