I was preparing a post on caregiving and Texas health care, but the State of the Union sounds like so much more fun.
I hate SOTU’s. The last one I listened to was during GW Bush’s term, and his accent alone was enough to send me running.
I’m listening today because I want to hear what Obama has to say on immigration. It probably won’t be anything new from what I’ve heard, but it will be interesting to hear. And watch how members react to the President’s comments.
So, I’ll be updating this post with my reaction. Catch me on twitter to @lekiare.
update: The SOTU isn’t over yet, but I’ve found myself yawning.
The only thing that irks me is the President’s comments on sending eligible immigrants to the back of the line before they can qualify for status. Well why not fix the actual line? Wait times for citizen siblings petitioning their immigrant siblings is over 15 years. The priority date is ’96, but the line only advances a week per month. So in reality that line is like a 100 yrs.
Fix the lines!
