We just want a peaceful thread for once. Hope you will honor our request. We would deeply appreciate it. There are many Bush-trashing threads already running on FR.

I second this! The Bush-trashing on this thread...even before he speaks...is already getting very, very old.

[PureSolace]

if you think bush is running "Hard Left" I'm scared at what you think is Hard Right. :)

[mrs tiggywinkle]

There are ample threads on FR to trash, bash and otherwise be inconsiderate. Perhaps you could consider visiting one of those threads instead of this one? Thank you kindly.

Confidence is sharply higher than it was heading into the president's 2003 State of the Union speech. Public ratings of current economic conditions stand at their best levels in 21 months and more Americans say the economy's improving than think it's getting worse. Most strikingly, 44 percent of Americans now say the economy's in good shape, 20 points more than at this time last year.

Drudge reports QB Brady will be with Laura Bush.

Somewhere in a parallel universe, Tipper will be sitting with Sarah Brady.

"As part of the offensive against terror, we are also confronting the regimes that harbor and support terrorists, and could supply them with nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons…"

Likely he'll call on other nations to follow Libya's example...might even name Cuba.

Lieberman said on LKL that he'd not be in attendance.... Gathering up the votes in NH......

Five more years....... and he's outta there......

I jumped to the end of the thread to have my place marked.

Peggy Noonan looks really nice on Hardball, all dressed up for the occasion.

Speaking of attire...my guess of what Hillary wears is the brown crusty.

[BenLurkin]

Well, that would make him a conservative.

"After which they will go back to faithfully counting their Krugerrands."

Reelect President Bush

[kemathen7]

So its only OK to post nice, happy thoughts about the president here? I think its only fair to be critical of the President. Not bash, but be critical of what he says.

C'mon - the Bush fans are in the majority here. Let the guy say what he wants (unless he's blatantly rude).

29) Mrs. Karen Hughes, Guest of Mrs. Bush

Cool! :) I like Karen Hughes.

[hole_n_one]

C-Span is the best when watching these type of events.

[cyncooper]

Also, wesley clark is planning on holding a town hall meeting DURING the SOTU

This is the first I've heard of this. Well, we know whose idea that was. The same person who tried to upstage President Bush's inaugural by stalling and stalling his own exit from the presidential stage.

I join you in prayer that this ploy backfires.....Big Time.

"29) Mrs. Karen Hughes, Guest of Mrs. Bush"

The 2004 Campaign really needs her...and Ari Fleischer, at least in some capacity. A pair of high-caliber talents, those two.

[futureceo31]

I think Ari should run for political office. That dude can talk...:)
