Question: From a leadership perspective--moving the country and the political process away from division and gridlock and toward consensus, confidence and action--how would you grade President Obama's State of the Union speech?
I give him a grade of an "A". From the onset, his language and actions were inclusive--for example, recognizing John Boehner as the new speaker of the house. He was future focused, as I believe all good leaders must be. The president acknowledged the differences, highlighted what both parties agree on and left space for principled engagement.
Return to all panelist responses or vote on the grade you'd give the president's address.
