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.

Thanks, Howlin! Interesting. Wonder if there'll be a change after the address.

Getting ready to watch the rerun of the SOTU on Fox. Got to the energy policy being debated for 4 years part and had a medical emergency with our 20 year old cat. (Could have been the loud clapping)...Didn't get back until almost midnight.

Seeing this backwards is no fun. :(

I'm watching the replay on Fox (I watched earler on CSPAM) and I have to say that the Fox camera had a MUCH better angle on the President as he worked his way down the aisle, I'd always thought that they used pool cameras for this, but I was wrong.

I am no fan at all of Joe LIEberman but when he was on with Hannity last week I actually felt sorry for him.

There was Sean putting up all of Kennedy's remarks and expecting LIEberman to comment on them.

The entire segment was having LIEberman bash Kennedy.

Made no sense at all.

LIEberman went along with the plan but it was painful to watch.

How about some intelligent considered thought for a change.

It's one thing to 'gotcha' a guest with their own remarks, but the point of doing that with someone else's remarks made no sense at all.

Krauthammer also wrote a scathing attack on the new World War II memorial. He criticized every single aspect of the memoria.

Every single person I know who has seen it has been overwhelmed by the depth of emotion it evokes.

Krauthammer's criticisms were petty in the extreme. Dare I say his criticisms were 'pedestrian'.

And Ron Reagan's only claim to fame is that he bashes the President on EMBRYONIC stem cell research because his father had Alzheimers.

The ink stained figure was used in the Palestinian election as well. I recall complaints from some of the politicians that the ink could be washed off and a person could vote more than once. It was simply blathering but most seemed to have missed the fact that the ink stain is common in elections in other parts of the world.

The reason there is a cap on the amount of income that can be taxed is that there is a cap on the amount of social security benefits you can receive.

A little point lost on most.

I have to agree with you about LIEberman....there was a time before 2000 that I actually liked him...I believe to this day he sold his soul to algore when he changed his position on a number of issues...I will not forgive him for that...even though he supports Dubya on the WOT.
