STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]
2/2/05
Posted on 02/02/2005 3:43:44 PM PST by Timeout
The pre-spin: Bush will spend about 1/2 the speech on foreign policy, 1/2 on domestic, with heavy emphasis on Social Security reform. It's said he will provide a detailed tutorial on the SS system and its problems with a few details on his personal accounts proposal.
Laura's guests are said to be an Afghan voter and an Iraqi voter (too bad there's no Ukrainian wearing an orange hat!).
Should we start a drinking game on how many times the pool camera swings to Hillary? Hmmm. Probably not...it would likely hamper out typing ability.
Word on the blogs has it that the closing part of the speech is a hum-dinger. Set your VCR's.
Report here on outrageous MediaCrat spin before AND after the SOTU. Pictures and screen caps welcome.

Was the "swimmer" there or did I just ignore his fat ugly face? I did see Horseface and Hilderbeast.

Juan said this was a very emotional and visual speech. He said the speech will be remembered for the visuals of the iraqi woman and the parents.

Please, go to Searchlight immediately, find that kid
at
the cafe and set him straight. I can do better, I have Reno, Carson city, and Lake Tahoe to
push my agenda of ousting Reed to seed a new and improved
message to the Democrats.
This will be my first fund raising attempt in politics, but
I understand the fundamentals. That, and I make friends fast
through my industry.
To: Claytay
Poor Juan....he never knows when to stop talking.
He says the President didn't offer any "markers" about when we would exit Iraq.
Someone should sedate him.

Pelosi. She rivals Michael Jackson for plastic surgery. Her botox was in competition with her dental veneers tonight.
To: lawdog
I am a conservative not "Bush-bot" Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

I've been here a while and I've never seen anything positive come from him. It's sad, really.
He's just a sour poopypants.

Charles Krauthammer just called it a pedestrian speech.
Juan Williams enjoyed the emotionalism of it.
????Go figure!

Now the neo-cons will never leave Iraq, no exit strategy, blah blah blah.
Now, "why isn't he talking about the ozone and an exit strategy?" Where do they get these people?

Watched C-SPAN in the moments before the speech - they set the stage as it were - and through the speech, but turned to FOX immediately the President left the chamber.
C-SPAN has swung to the left over the years. Pity - it is a good format.

Good night all! It's been wonderful! I love these live threads!

These Senators and Congress Critters see each other every day Why on TV tonight are they acting like they haven't seen each other is Months?? Well, - and I do not mean this facetiously, it is the truth - MOST of the demorats are AWOL in the chambers - they collect the paycheck, but they are seldom in attendance
