    The Seal Team is the best and we could say that about their Commander-in-Chief who gave the GO order.

    The President covered alot last night and sound much like a learner talking to a team on how to win. What was sad is how many Americans don't realize the job of the Senate/Representatives/Congress who were voted in by the people to work on their benefits. 3 years Law Makers have done nothing but work on making sure Obama/USA failed. None as the Party of No and now the blame goes to the President who doesn't get to vote.

    With two candidates clearly unelectible in the Republican campaign the GOP might look for another candidate if Romney doesn't win in Florida. Florida is second in the highest illegal foreclosures even on soldiers and Mitt/Newt will allow the bottom to drop in favor of the Banks. Jobs have been the call for Americans but the GOP has said once a GOP President is elected things will happen. 2011 Obama had to go it alone and got small businesses in each State to start hiring. Well we're seeing results and wow the GOP is taking the credit. Finally the troops get help as the Law Makers have ignored them.

    Tax time and the GOP assure the middle class/poor will pay big time. This year regular people will be paying about 35 per cent in taxes and as Mitt Romney showed he will be paying 14 per cent. But as Boehner said this is why the voters elected the GOP in the majority in 2010 to assure these policies happen. After success of the GOP in Iowa/NH/South Carolina voters made clear the polices used in 2001 to 2009 are the best for the USA. Obama refuse the Bank another bailout but the GOP will make sure it happens. As we see the US Auto Industry is back on top but we are to forget the GOP said let it fail. Many in the press say Obama passed the bank bailout and even made a mistake of helping the auto industry. But if people believe it why not trick them yet again. But the President was right if the US doesn't work as a team we all lose. I like the way he used the example of our military as it is so true that as each watch each others back and no one gets left behind. We have the best Military and no one ask race, political position or rank it's all for one and one for all.

    have a great day all

      Good Evening Mr.Williams, a fine broadcast this Wednesday evening. Nice to see you back in New York after being in Florida and Washington, D.C. Excellent coverage of President Obama's State of the Union Address last evening.

      First of all the report by Mr.Miklaszewski about the US Navy Seals known as Seal Team 6 who rescued the 2 people held hostage in Somalia. The same US Navy Seals who killed Bin Laden did another incredible mission this time to rescue 2 hostages one an American. Learning how they did the mission by surprising the kidnappers and killing them while being able to rescue the 2 hostages Jessica Buchanan and Poul Thisted really shows this group of Navy Seals is the best of the best. It is good the woman Jessica Buchanan whose health was getting worse will now be able to get some medical attention.

      The report by Kelly O'Donnell about Rep. Gabrielle Giffords last day in Congress was truly emotional and very moving. The words spoken by the members of Congress stated Giffords was a "shining star" and she showed such "strength, fortitude and was an inspiration". it was wonderful her bill was passed on her final day in Congress as she resigns to focus on her recovery. She will be missed greatly by many, many people on Capital Hill. A wonderful person.

      Hearing from Mr.Cantore about the extreme weather in January showed there has been some unusual winter storms this season especially the number of tornados. It was encouraging to hear the drought in Texas has be reduced by all the heavy rainstorms. One hopes for a calmer Spring though instead of all the intense storms.

      Great photos of the Northern Lights in Fairbanks, Alaska!

      Nice piece about George Lewis as he retires from NBC after 40years reporting in the news business. An incredible career covering all sorts of events. And he did wonderful work in California. All the best in his retirement. Enjoy! One hopes he comes back from time to time to be a contributor to reports.

      Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

      Be Well Everyone!

      Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

      Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!
