I like the promise to veto bills with earmarks. Dems should have agreed to do this with the Reps.

He asked us to work together to fix the problems in America. He should have worn a purple tie. Red and blue makes purple.

My favorite part of the speech: lobbyist meetings will now be posted online! We should have the right to know who is selling us out!!
