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.

"The dems just can't come to grips with the fact that MOST people want control of at least a portion if not ALL of their SS money."
The dems are going to battle this bigtime, but I think Bush and the republicans are positioning this just right--it's about letting people control their lives. I thought the democrats were all for that.

I missed that. What, did Dan hog one of those seats on the aisle?Vrit was referring to a pre-SOU speech luncheon between the President and the network anchors---a recent tradition.

I was interested in her impression of THIS speech.

>"I would even choose to OPT out of Social Security all together if I could."<
- Yup. Take all of my SS money, and put into property, mutual funds, etc.
But we both know the reason the reason we can't do that...:(

Who in the blue hell is John Kerry again? I searched Google for "John Kerry" but no results. I tried again with "empty-suit" and got a TON of results.

Great, great, great speech.

President Bush isn't doing it either.Rush made the case that spending has been at an all-time low, even after 9/11, and during 2 wars.

We need to close our borders to illegal immigrants. The President thinks they're made up of drug dealers and terrorists - no como dice but from the looks of it and the brief attention the issue got, he knows most Republicans want a tougher approach. It actually received less emphasis that his "big" signature issue, Soche Security tonight.

I know, dish is on my list. I'm not much of a tv watcher, though.
I just got back on, haven't read the thread (no time tonight) and I was wondering who was making the grumbling noises when that wonderful President Bush started talking about social security. I think I heard it twice.
I thought it was an inspiring, magnificent speech. But I love the man...he could say anything and I'd think it was awesome.

Well, it has been fun. Since I'm listening and posting from WORK, I guess I'd better get some actual WORK done before it's time to leave! :-D Fortunately, we're in a quarter-end freeze for doing any work on our servers and it's a quiet night. Will get a chance to watch the replay when I get home.
