By Michael Ruhl, University of New Mexico - Talk Radio News Service

Following the President's address to Congress on Tuesday evening, Michael Ruhl spoke to Representative Sam Farr (D-CA). Farr called the speech "The strongest President Speech I've ever heard since I've been in Congress", a speech that displayed the President's "commitment to making this nation an opportunity for all". He continued by saying that he thinks the American public is "up to the challenge", and likened it to the mission to the moon, except that this time everyone is involved in making it happen. He said that he was excited about facing the challenge, because it is what he was elected to do. (01:20)
