Some­times, when I’m search­ing for the right words to express all my feel­ings about the cur­rent state of affairs, I get slapped in the head with some­thing writ­ten by some­one else who does it much bet­ter than I would have.

This can be very frus­trat­ing.  Par­tic­u­larly when I’m try­ing to dis­tin­guish my devel­op­ing blog here with new and insight­ful obser­va­tions of my own.

In this case I wanted to write about my feel­ings and thoughts about Pres­i­dent Obama’s recent State of the Union address.  But this morn­ing I found the ven­er­a­ble New York Times had beaten me to the punch.  And they also had some addi­tional infor­ma­tion I did not have.  Here is the link to the story:

For myself, I think the President’s speech was right on track.  I like what he said and the new ini­tia­tives he pro­posed.  I hope him every suc­cess as we move forward.
