Editor,
President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address displayed his strength as a speaker. His intonation was solid, and filled with the highs and lows of his voice, probably like his days in the Oval Office. Further, I enjoyed his clear message about the strength of our country, which is contrary to rumors abroad. The United States "is not in decline." Amen and alleluia! I read of those rumors years ago and was saddened and questioned whether it could be true or not, and to what extent.
