From Time to Time...

[The President] shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient... U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 3

thank you cspan..

What do we aspire to? For if nothing else, the President's State of the Union speech was aspirational:

* 80% of our country's electricity needs met by clean energy by 2035!

* Eliminate $ billions in oil company subsidies! Let's stop investing in legacy industries..

* Invest in high speed rail!

* Creative destruction - a roofing company transformed into one that builds solar shingles! Reinvention!

* A unifying theme - Gabby ribbons, worn by both red and blue, sometimes sitting side by side..

* Oh! And I don't think he pissed anyone off, on either side!

We shall see what the future holds. Reorganizing the federal government? Not exactly aspirational, but maybe the new budget, if you can wait for February 1 dear readers, will hold these clues.
