The race for the presidential election began last night with the address before Congress by prospective candidate Barack Obama, billed by the White House as a State of the Union address. For those who could not, or perhaps chose, not to endure it, we present here selected highlights, with clarifying commentary in italics, as a public service.

At stake right now is not who wins the next election - after all, we just had an election. And my butt still hurts from the kicking we got. At stake is whether new jobs and industries take root in this country or somewhere else. Somewhere that will fund my next campaign, or pay for my retirement, or exile.
It's whether the hard work and industry of our people is rewarded. Or taken by the government and given out like candy.
