Karlo interviewed by CBS in Chicago
Handsome blogger Karlo Marcelo from FM was interviewed during a watch party for the State of the Union. He has great comments about the speech and the President.
Karlo Marcelo counts himself among the many here who remain optimistic about this presidency, but he acknowledges that the current climate in Washington is a long way from the halcyon days of 2008.
"I think that campaigning and governing are two different things," Marcelo said. "And I think a lot of us knew that governing was going to be a totally different thing."
