A good speech!

I thought President Trump's State of the Union address was very good last night. Tami and I agreed he knocked it out of the park. He covered a lot of pertinent topics and even extended olive branches to the Democrats in offers of working on bipartisan issues. I thought the President's remarks were appropriate, compassionate, sincere, and exactly what many Americans have been clamoring to hear. As expected, many Democrats sat in icy coldness as the rest of the Congressional chamber erupted in cheers and thunderous applause. As expected, many Democrats sat on their hands when the rest of the room gave standing ovations. As expected, many Democrats made faces of extreme disapproval as the President touted tax cuts, lower unemployment rates, a stock market boom, tighter border security, proposed infrastructure improvements, and a promise to not stand down to threats from foreign enemies. As expected, many Democrats acted like spoiled little children and actually booed as the President mentioned immigration reform. Did you hear what I said? These high ranking officials, these supposed servants of the people actually booed the President during one the most important speeches of the year in the most sacred government building in our nation. How DISRESPECTFUL! How utterly CHILDISH! I have no problem with Democrats disagreeing with Trump's policies. No problem at all. But be respectful! Have some class. Have some modicum of decency when the President of the United States is speaking to the entire nation on national television. Honestly, as angry as it makes me, I'm kind of glad they did it. It shows the Democrats for who they really are. I don't ever recall Republicans booing a Democrat President during a State of the Union Address. I'm not saying it never happened. I just don't recall Republicans ever acting that way during such an important event. It's so sad they can't act like adults and actually behave in a manner befitting elected officials.
