Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) speaks to Talk Radio News Services' Bureau Chief Ellen Ratner after President Obama's State of the Union Address. Sanders says he thinks this country has been crying out for real leadership, and finally after eight years a president has the courage to face the problems in our country. The solutions, he says, will not be easy, but will move our country in a different direction, and he says he thinks the President is trying to reach out to as many people as possible. "Let's take a deep breath," Sanders says, this is a stimulus package that is a "huge step forward." As for Vermont itself, Sanders says he feels that the immediate goal is to not fall into a depression, since we are in a "very deep recession." (3:55)
