On one hand I am very inspired by our president. His hope and determination certainly beg us to do something ourselves. On the other hand, I can't help but see the division among our law makers and say to myself, "we're never going to get anything done." I think that our president is powerless to change the hearts of his congress, and I think we the people deserve better than having people simply vote for bills because its their party's will. I think what Obama needs in order to get anything done is for people to start thinking and voting for themselves. So all he really needs to do is to keep trying to convince senators and reps to do so.

I know health care is a sore topic with everyone these days. I worry about if I will have a job (and benefits) by the time the baby comes, and if I don't, how the heck are we going to pay for labor and delivery and peds appts and everything else. But I don't think that relying on the government to solve this hypothetical problem for me is the answer. Thanks for the insights on Obama's speech. I only got the wire versions (and still didn't get to read all of it)...

Yeah! Well said, Jai.
