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.

Any talk station streaming on the web will probably carry the speech live.

I just got home and don't have time to read through whole thread---can you give me thumbnail about what you are referring to re: who is telling the truth---and why you need to Michelle Malkin?

Was something said today on Senate floor that was a like about Gonzalez?

"What's the odds that President Bush dips his finger in the purple ink?"

Wouldn;t that be something.


Prayers for our President.

"What's the odds that President Bush dips his finger in the purple ink?"

I'd say fairly great. I've heard some Republican congressmen will be adorning purple fingers as well.

Your Welcome. :)

The Iraqis were impressive.

I am still amazed at their bravery.

God Bless our Troops for giving them the chance for Freedom.

That page at the White House says
"Live web cast February 2, 2005"

But it's not working right now.
Maybe they're not going to start until
closer to the speech.

A poster on the hearing thread said that Alberto Gonzales was a "high official" in LaRaz and "probably helped write their agenda."

Quoted Michelle Malkin; she did say it, but it's NOT TRUE.

I'll tell you how. Remember on Sunday how Condi took to the airwaves with those stilletto-heel black boots? That set off some heat in the blogosphere and on FR, to say the least.

Well, the last thing Hillary wants is the light shining on Condi. Watch closely tonight. Condi is SOS, the Senior Cabinet officer. She leads the cabinet down the aisle. Well see just how well turned out she is, and what Hilly's reaction is to her.

Something I'll be watching for.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Where was all this concern re church and state when, back in the 60's we had a catholic priest who was also a congressman???

(Father Robert Drinan, remember him?)
