One of President Obama's main points from the address was about the jobless rate and how he hopes to improve it. He talked about how tax cuts are being extended in hopes to improve the economy. He also wants to eliminate tax payer money that is given to oil companies. I agree with his ideas to extend tax cuts and eliminating money given to oil companies.
He also talked about how important education is, since in the near future many jobs will require more education than just a high school degree. He believes that education needs to start in the home, parents need to do more to encourage their kids to get good grades. I really like his idea about Race to the Top. If the government pushes school to come up with better education plans, the student benefits. The better the kids are educated the better jobs that they will be able to fight for.
President Obama addressed the issue of illegal immigration, but I wish he would have went a little more into how he plans to address the issue. I agree that the US should try and keep foreign students who come for a college degree here in the US after they graduate. These people could greatly improve our labratories and we maybe able to improve our research even more.
The main point that President Obama kept stressing throughout the address was how he is going to trying to improve the economy and create more jobs. He has many good ideas, but if they will really work or not, we will have to wait and see.
