President Bush will deliver his annual State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress tonight at 6 PM Pacific time. A live webcast is available here. According to CNN, quoting a top aide, "President Bush will present 'a strategy for success' in Iraq and outline details of his Social Security proposal."
Judge Michael Chertoff testified during his nomination to become Homeland Security Secretary before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
President Bush plans a late February trip to Europe to seek additional assistance from the European Union and NATO in Iraq, and to meet with leaders, including German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
There will be lots of photos tonight during and after the president's speech.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island!
I believe it will. That medal is something they can always turn to when they need courage and strength, or just to feel proud and loved.
Great Dose to get use to an early start Gretchen. I believe I'm going to be able to watch the SOTU after all.
I was wondering if VP Cheney was going to be present tonight or in an undisclosed location. From the looks at the teleprompter, he'll be there.
Anyway, here's a 10-year-old kid who's dad was a hero, and who is now trying to do something very old-fashioned: be the man of the house. I am so very glad that this medal was approved by Congress and the President, because in his own way, the boy is a hero also. As you said, maybe the medal will give him something to turn to.
Thanks for the ping
Thanks for including SFC Paul Smith...Lest We Forget...
When our Dubya finally retires, and the scope of what he accomplished begins to sink in, he will certainly be seen as deserving a comparable place in history to those on Rushmore.
That Barney is soooooo CUTE!
Well put, and I agree with the slanted focus that the feminist movement has put onto young girls without considering young boys needs. If what the activists are after is equality, then they should take a long look in the mirror.
He'll be there in the seat behind the President reserved for the President of the Senate; right next to the seat reserved for the Speaker of the House. (Good night to be a Republican!!)
Exactly, and to think his 2nd term has just begun. I believe the Iraqis are going to start turning against the terrorists in large numbers after seeing what they can accomplish. President Bush will long be remembered as the man who brought peace to the middle east (something I might add that Clinton attempted but failed to do).
Yeah, couldn't agree with you more.
Hey prairie. I was at groundhog day today!! still in Pa.. how are you & bob doing? Say hi for me. I tried to post the inaug thread. Problems.. not sure why. all pix were red x's. and yes, I know how to do it & yes the server is up & NO, I have no clue.. but maybe in next few days can sort it out. super busy..
Clinton was too busy worrying about his legacy and trying to force the Israelis into a Neville Chamberlain-like false peace. Shallow, empty, hedonistic men like Clinton always wind up being historical afterthoughts.
Did I hear right that the Republican congress members in the audience were going to have "purple fingers" in support of the Iraqi election and to support the President?
If only that were true. It was reported today that he is going to "officially" head the tsunami effort on behalf on the UN. I can see where he's going with this but it won't work, China is next in line to appoint a representative to replace Annan as head of the UN.
Thanks for the link
