I'm not sure I understand the direction POTUS took. he's not gonna be able to push very much of that through congress, which makes it come off like he's either a delusional ideologue or he's setting congress up to look like the awful obstructionists who blocked his blueprint for utopia. he's too clever for the first explanation, so it kinda feels like grandstanding to me. it would've been more productive to venture beyond simply paying lip service to bipartisanship and set more attainable, less ideologically 'pure' goals which would benefit both sides of the aisle.
