9:00 P.M. EST!!!

It's a great day to be a Republican!!!!

[Bush_Democrat]

I love it too, but I stole it. Feel free to steal it or link to my photobucket account.

[RightWhale]

Nice job

[taxed2death]

"I love this guy - no matter what he stands for from now on I'm for it."

I'm about 80% on board....except for his abysmal "immigration" stance and crappy border security.

[processing please hold]

I have never in my life heard where immigrants can hurt this country. Illegal immigrants do. Read between the lines. I don't think the Minutemen are along the our borders trying to stem the flood of Irish illegals from flooding our country. Jeez, get real. We are a country of immigrants...not illegal immigrants.

[BamaDi]

is Ford kissing ass or what....he hugged the Prez and then hugged Frist....that guy can forget it (i hope)....TN will never elect this idiot as their Senator....

[diverteach]

Kills me how they sit there on there hands throughout the speech only to turn around and wanna schmooze on the way out, only to turn around again and stab him in the back.

[scott says]

Excellent speach...very strong.
Can't wait for the cry baby dems "response", get the barf bag ready.

[Bahbah]

The closing had me on my feet. That was very, very good. God bless this man.

[Miss Marple]

OK...here is Fox's panel. Bill Kristol, Mort, and Nina Easton.

Mort thinks he has reversed himself on oil. Mort needs to go back and review the last 5 years.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Me either i'll just get p'oed at the rheteric and lies !

[AGreatPer]

80% of these people are now saying, "thankfully its over, now, let's go out and have a smoke".

[mylife]

Chris Matthews says there is no lame duck in this speech.

Very Good! even the opponents se the momentum

[del4hope]

Is it official????

[hipaatwo]

Great speech!!! I turned on the Spitter to see how they play the speech, I like to look at the enemy..LOL

[WestVirginiaRebel]

This was vintage Bush at his best. Classic smackdowns of his critics and reaffirming American values during a dangerous time. Refusing to accept defeatism or pessimism.

[newzjunkey]

I think the Dems are doing a Spanish language response given by L.A.'s mayor. There might be another for the English speakers still left, however.

[Knute]

This president is a gift to US! WOO-HOO

I echo your WOO-HOO! What a great day!

[ThreePuttinDude]

"W" did a great job tonight. Hit the mark all night.

[mrsmel]

I HATE HATE HATE the Congressional rats,for their arrogant but oblivious petty rudeness to the President.Fortunately,their crowing over defeating SS reforms makes THEM look like the obstructionist losers that they are.What bunch of people CHEERS themselves for OBSTRUCTING needed SS reform???!!! God I despise them with all my heart,and can be thankful that they only shot themselves in the foot with that petty and spiteful moment.

[pulaskibush]

"MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA"

He's violating the law of Seperation of Church and State, just like America did for nearly 2 centuries before Church and State was put into law in 1947.

[Peach]

Mr. P just turned music on. LOL

He isn't even freeping and he feels the same way we do.

[Soul Seeker]

Yep. Nice way to cap a beautiful day.

Alito confirmed. Libs imploding. Cindy arrested. Dems making fools of themselves. Prez playing with them as a cat to a mouse.

Best SOU I think he's ever given, probably because he was so comfortable tonight.

[synbad600]

She probably didn't even notice she was there.

[GodBlessUSA]

Follow up is making me sick.

[SheLion]

Oh, I hope they let her go so she can have a foaming at the mouth fit in the chamber. Hillary rolling her eyes just ain't gonna cut it for me this year.

I'm just thankful they didn't let her back in!  I am curious what all happened with her.  I hope they arrested her and will hold her at least for 24 hours!

[prairiebreeze]

Agreed about Mort. The Pres has spoken about alternative fuels before.

[Humal]

"Cheers for defeating Social Security reform."

I was trying to keep a tally on how many times he was interrupted by applause. When that happened, I wondered if I should SUBTRACT one instead???

[jwalsh07]

The creationist Luddite Bush had a vision, it told him to fund the hard sciences.

[A.Hun]

He is a good President...not perfect but very good!

[onyx]

I'm not going to bother listening to their reply/rebuttal.

[Pukin Dog]

I call everyone 'baby'. Some women like it. Nothing I post is rumor, or unsourced. Aint it wonderful that you dont have to read what I write?

When ever I post to you, I'll sign it as 'Puffed-up Pukin' if it will make you smile. Life is too short to be nasty all the time.

Deal?

[del4hope]

Right up there with gum chewing.

[EX52D]

LOL..actually I was just in and out on the thread...

[SittinYonder]

aside from the Civil War, he's faced more disasters than any president

Not looking to pick a fight, but what about FDR? Depression, Pearl Harbor, WWII. I mean, just in the number of soldiers killed FDR's got it worse than Bush.

[Howlin]

And Cindy Sheehan arrested to boot!

[A Citizen Reporter]

And Nina Easton starts off with poll numbers.

Boo Hiss.

[MeanWestTexan]

Technically, it's panhandle, but it'll work.

Midland College is just weak.

[Rte66]

I hope it's SMU. The rotunda of Dallas Hall is soooo Jeffersonian!

[Fudd Fan]

80% is pretty good. [I don't even agree with my husband all the time and I love him more than anyone on earth.]

[Shortstop7]

I LOVE HIM TOO! Just told my hubby.......I have such a crush on this man.......

He just makes me grin.!

[defconw]

I missed that, Thank God!

[jackv]

"The closing had me on my feet. That was very, very good. God bless this man."


Oh me too! In tears!! The "finish well" line was incredible!!

[small voice in the wilderness]

Yes Javelina. Yes I did think it was a good one. It was a great one as a matter of fact. But just what kind of substance were you looking for? Please clue me in to your search for substance. I am curious.

[NRA2BFree]

well, I am grateful she elected to retire...lol

I'm grateful she decided to retire too. ;o)

[nopardons]

Bovine excrement, newbie.

[Corin Stormhands]

I have never in my life heard where immigrants can hurt this country.

Then you haven't been paying attention.

[Looking4Truth]

LOL. I tried to post each paragraph when he said the first sentence. That way when you read the paragraph he should have just completed it with the lag of loading the page. Sometimes it turned out right and sometimes I got a little ahead. I hope you found it of service.

Cool. You were blowing me away. This is probably the first time in history that a jo blo like me could read the segments of the speech BEFORE The President actually said it. I'm pretty quick with the refresh button and was right on top of it for the last half. I'm amazed. Thanks.
