"The stock market has come roaring back. Corporate profits are up. The economy is growing again."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Obama State Of The Union Speech 2011: FULL TEXT

We are poised for progress. Two years after the worst recession most of us have ever known, the stock market has come roaring back. Corporate profits are up. The economy is growing again.

But we have never measured progress by these yardsticks alone. We measure progress by the success of our people. By the jobs they can find and the quality of life those jobs offer. By the prospects of a small business owner who dreams of turning a good idea into a thriving enterprise. By the opportunities for a better life that we pass on to our children.

That's the project the American people want us to work on. Together.

We did that in December. Thanks to the tax cuts we passed, Americans' paychecks are a little bigger today. Every business can write off the full cost of the new investments they make this year. These steps, taken by Democrats and Republicans, will grow the economy and add to the more than one million private sector jobs created last year.

8. When he said that the Titanic

is completely unsinkable, that's what really brought-out my skepticism. So, the point about not needing an adequate number of lifeboats is at question.

Yeah, my post is as relevant as the speech is to reality, overall.

Rah, rah, rah!
