Obama’s State of The Nation Address Could Worry Republicans

Barrack Obama last night made a spirited State of the Nation address to over 40 million Americans who cared to listen to him. He was upbeat and his body language and general oratory was sparkling with achievements. The kind of achievements Obama recorded over the span of his first term makes him a serious contender for the next Presidential race whether his enemies like it or not.

Among the great achievements President Obama boasted of was the bringing back home of the American Marines from Iraq. He announced that there was not a single American force left in Iraq to great ululations by audience in the house.The return of American troops back home was a campaign promise the President honored to the letter.

He also told his audience about the nearly 3 million jobs that were recently created as a result of his clever bail out policy. The fact that the job situation which was a very serious problem about 6 months ago appears to be improving is perhaps, the biggest achievement for his presidency. He told Americans that General Motors which about a year ago was almost filing for bankcrapsy has had a very positive turn around and was hiring again. He was upbeat about his economic clever policies which made all these possible.

The president also mentioned as some of his tall achievements, the clinical murder of Osama Bin Laden. The special Commandos that Obama himself ordered to kill Osama, did their job well and made America proud. The world is aware that Osama bin Laden had remained elusive for over 10 years, but only Obama was able to ause his death with his orders. To prove a point about his orders as Commander in Chief, just a day after his State of the nation address, he again ordered the same special force to attack and neutralize the pirates that had abducted and held some Danish nationals for three months. All the 9 Somali pirates were killed and the two Danish safely delivered from their captivities.

His vision for America still remains that of prosperity for all  in a fair and measured way, where the rich have to be prepared to pay more taxes. The Republicans don’t want to hear this, but Obama appears to be getting support from some of the richest Americans like Bill Gates who recently came out openly to say, the rich should pay more taxes if they want to make more money.

If the Republicans thought Obama was going to be a one term President, they should think again. The President has demonstrated that he can do great things for America. He has a team that works and  it will take Republicans a lot of thinking to come up with many credible issues outside the race stuff, that will undermine Obama’s second term Presidential bid. As far as we can see, everyday that passes, Obama appears to be positioning himself as the best candidate available in the political market come November 2012.
