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.

So who is next Syria or Iran?
To: No Blue States
"That scowling forehead is Cody, the GIJoe doll the terrorists "captured"..bwhahha Thanks."
I'd like to have seen President Bush say: "We are proud to have our own G.I. Cody in the audience with us tonight, fresh from his Iraqi hostage rescue", and then have Mrs. Bush hold up Cody when the camera panned over to her.

Notice Bush has gotten a little more 'in your face' since Condi became Sec of State?
To: longtermmemmory
Shameless pandering. What happened to pandering to victims and minorities.. or was that last season's style. LOL! What a joke they allow themselves to be.
To: All
The MSM is skipping over the Marriage and family issue.
They are zeroing like a laser beam on social security, they must have recieved the DNC talking points.
Comon words:
Wattered down
Election ploy
Rove
Bush will get part of what he wants.

Exactly. He threatened Syria, he talked to the Iranian people. Big difference.

Can you imagine if people asked that during WW II? "Mr. President, when are you going to get the troops out of France?"
Or, for those who don't see things quite right,...
"Mr. President, when are you going to get the troops out of Germany and Japan?"
Funny thing is, we STILL have troops in Germany and Japan.

At least he's not hatin' on the Mexicans yet. :P

I don't think he meant it in a derogatory way. Bush communicates best when he speaks in simple, declarative sentences. I think Krauthammer was saying it wasn't flowery rhetoric that sounds good but means nothing.
To: xrp
My perception is that Chrissy is kinda swinging to the right lately. He's been attacking leftists and leaving the right pretty much alone. Jimmy Carter is Chrissy's hero
Matthews will NEVER turn right

Yep. He's not going to be running for re-election. He intends to spend his political capital.

What on God's green earth is he yammering about?
Jobs blah blah blah, Education, blah blah blah, Health Care, blah blah blah, Prescription Drugs, blah blah blah. I think that about covers every RAT speech for the last 4 years.

"I just took your advice .. Joe has been hanging out with the liberals to much" Well, I went over, and this is what Joe just said:
"You know, we all fault Newt Gingrich, because he always had a PLAN A, but then the Demoncrats would respond and there was never a PLAN B. But Karl Rove....."
And then Chrissy interrupted him. I think there is some truth in them words. And I believe that Rove is steps ahead of them.
Meanwhile, Joe Scarborough, is clinging to an anchor desk at MSNBC.

LOL! WHERE do you guys get these great pictures? I really need to learn PhotoShop. Haven't had a chance yet.
