State of the Union Address

Obama's address last night promised economical change.  He promised educational reform as well, that High School students will be ready to have a real job by the time they graduate.  And of course he stressed the debt and how we will lower it.  He also said that by the end of this year, our troops will be back from Afghanistan.  Sounds like quite a future.  He mentioned a ton of interesting things about jobs.  Things like car companies bringing jobs back from overseas.  Apple even, beginning to make Macbooks in the US again!  So sounds like more jobs, better education, and economical change.

Former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner after killing at least four people, fled into the mountains.  Saturday, police used the break they had from the horrible weather and searched the mountain resort town of Big Bear Lake using heat-sensing helicopters and scouring the ground on foot in the freshly fallen snow.  There is still no sign of Dorner, although police did find his burnt out pick-up truck in the town last Thursday.
