I took the time to read the text of US President Obama's speech to Congress this evening and I'm a bit confused. Where are all the references to "evil"?

What's all this about curing cancer and every American taking a year of post-secondary education!

Ganbatte, America!

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
