Obama: Nation 'will emerge stronger'
In his first speech to a joint session of Congress, President Obama said his first budget "will invest in the three areas that are absolutely critical to our economic future: energy, health care, and education." full story

Aside from a wonderful speech that lays out where President Obama thinks this nation can be, the longest applauds came from talking about the troops and then he talked about what we owe our veterans. The wonderful thing is, with Obama, these are not just words, these are his thoughts. Most of the readers of this blog are fully aware of how he has felt about veterans since he entered into the Senate. At a time when he was able to serve on any committee he wanted, he wanted to serve the veterans on the Veterans Affairs Committee because he felt this nation owed them so much more than we have provided. They won his heart and I think it's because of this, I began to support him when he was running for the Presidency. I've seen too much suffering of our veterans and troops to not appreciate the dedication he has.
