Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings. ~Victor Hugo

Its Time to Listen.

I think its important for all Americans to watch both the State of the Union and the Q&A President Obama did with some the House Republicans this week. With all the criticisms this country can come up with about Obama and his presidency so far, we must take the time to hear him out and listen to the facts. Of course it wouldn't be politics if the facts weren't a little skewed in some places (it is inevitable) but some of the facts are just that. Facts.

And as Obama so rightly says in both the State of the Union and the Q&A, its time for the perpetual campaigning to end. Its time for the politicians of our country to stop using their energy to slander the other side and start investing their energy into doing their job and getting things done. Of course we wont all agree, but didn't we elect these men and women to work together on our behalf?

Watch the speech and Q&A here:
