We stayed home to watch Obama. After walking the streets of NY – from Brooklyn and Atlantic Avenue to Fifth and Madison Avenue – I was in despair. The empty stores, the homeless and sick, the unemployed – What can Obama do about all tthis, I asked. Keith laughed, “Makesv you think that maybe Hillary might have been a better choice…” And here we were, sitting in a house that was painted with “I love Obama” from Red Hook to Manhattan.
Sם we stayed home to see whether Obama’s State of the Union speech could give us some hope. And – yes, he could. Although he had almost nothing to say about foreign policy, his economic plan cheered us considerably. Now let’s see what happens.
