I didn't get that at all:
>> Tonight President Obama presents his budget to the American
>> people. The budget is more than a balance sheet. President
>> Obama will ask us to evaluate our priorities in the face of
>> economic crisis. He will question our resolve to improve
>> education, offer equal opportunities, and provide for our
>> neighbors despite the the terrifying deficits. He will ask
>> us what we really believe.
After detailing ways in which her personal interactions have given her hope that people will do the right thing in the face of economic downturn, I believe she is saying: don't let this guy tell you that we have to sacrafice education, opportunity, and our neighbors.
>> Budgets are choices. We can respond with fear and refuse
>> to make long term investments in our country or we can
>> choose to follow our highest ideals as Americans. President
>> Obama will ask us what we believe.
I believe that she believes that what Obama will ask us is to respond with fear and refuse to make long-term investments in our country.
