before, Obama is no clinton.  What stucrk me during the speech, is how he said he was going to take away corporate loopholes and lower their taxes, but he completely ignored the most important reccomendation the Commission he established to balance the budget made . to take away the tax exemption for second + houses worth over $500,000.  He also said absolutely nothing about addressing predatory loans.   You would think 20% of the houses in the country being in foreclosure would be important to him.
