Atlanta Bob,

I appreciate your reply and question.

No, I'm not asking for anything to be perfect before I will agree. But I need honesty about his plan and enough detail about it so I can decide whether to support or oppose some of all of it.

The problem to date has been that the President never offered a plan, and has promised more than I think he can deliver. But, I think it would be great if he could show me otherwise tonight. I will listen.

In my original post, I tried hard not to inject my own ideas and opinions, not to state what I want. To the extent you thought my points were partisan, I failed. I thought my points would be desired by everyone, regardless of political leanings! Which of my questions don't you want answered?
