There are many things about his speech that I think is nearly impossible. Two that come to my mind are his plan to draw 90,000 more people into the military and his plan to deminish oil consumption by 20% in 10 years. Yes, they might be doable, but from what I remember oil consumption keeps going up every year and we only draw 40-50 thousand people into the military.

I don't think legalizing every "illegal" that is in America and opening the border are the answers to the problem. These people will bring crime (as posted above) and have the huge potential to harm our economy.

I did like his words on securing Baghdad. I believe that Iraq needs to have a safe capital. Now how he does this is the question. My opinion is that the media should be displaced from where American troops are operating. Door to door inspections should be done and anyone with a gun should be "neutralized." Enough screwing around. I hate to say it, but if innocent people are harmed so be it. It would show the people that are conspiring to harm Americans to stop and buy into the system. If not, they are eliminated. The military started with this plan early in the "occupation" and it seemed to be working. Then a plan of engaging when harmed was adopted due to media coverage, which brings us to the current situation.

I'm curious as to what he meant by "the world will not allow Iran to develope nuclear weapons and we are working to make the Korean penninsula non-nuclear." We won't be able to talk Kim out of his weapons which he developed and I don't see how anyone can stop Iran from doing the same, unless military force is used.

If the president plans on accomplishing anything during his last two years in office, he should focus more upon domestic issues such as healthcare, education, immigration, and taxes (which I don't understand how he can pay off the deficit in 5 years).
