Really Mr. Forbes? The Democratic president needs to reach out to the republicans? When the president proposes a health care policy that was originally a republican governors plan and the republicans turn it down.Really? And when the president recommends raising taxes on the wealthy, like you, who pay substantially less than the hard working middle class that you refer to and you the republicans turn it down, even though Warren Buffett said tax me, the democrats have to reach out more?Really?

(continued) ...we may have a respectful disagreement on left vs right economic policy, but since there shall be "no religious test for public office" (Article VI, U.S. Constitution) you must surely concede that you are overreaching when it comes to faith interference and government?

Mr. Forbes, the founding fathers agreed that government has no business meddling in the affairs of religion. They also agreed that the only way to do that is to remain absolutely neutral on matters of church and state. Therefore, I fail to see how using the State of the Union should be an opportunity to address "prayer [in] the public arena" (surely you don't think sectarian prayer should be endorsed by the US government??). We may have a respectful disagreement on left vs right economic policy
