True lol, I thought it was good speech. I thought it was a tad short but heck they say people lose attention after 20 minutes. Well the President is on the record.
Well,look at it this way. The President must govern a country...I thought his tone expressed conservative ideals and met with the idea that politics is the art of the possible. THIS IS GREAT INCREMENTALISM AND HE SHOULD BE APPLAUDED...
I thought it was a good speech as well. I'm still amazed at the folks on this board who think we could possibly deport millions of people here in 2006. It could probably be done, but can you imagine the firestorm the MSM would create with nightly televised images of sad-faced "immigrants" being loaded into trucks and trains? Their sob sisters would be calling it a "death march," President Bush would be compared to Hitler herding Jews off to concentration camps, and the coverage would be so endless and wall-to-wall you'd have 60 percent of the sheeple demanding reparations be paid to the deportees and that they be invited back with five or ten of their closest relatives.
I know treading a middle ground doesn't set well with the more radical amongst us, but the sort of compromise outlined by the President would seem the only way to avoid a propaganda onslaught the likes of which we have never seen.
