Press Briefing on the State of the Union Speech

Tony Snow: What we're going to do is to give you a detailed overview of the President's proposals in the State of the Union address.

Steve Hadley will lead off with a summary. Let me just give you a description of the address. It roughly breaks down 50/50, domestic and foreign policy. The President will have -- and I will allow Steve to characterize the foreign policy aspects.

Joel Kaplan, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, will run through the policy items, what you're going to find in the State of the Union policy initiatives book.

Dan Bartlett also will do some communications framing. We will have questions, and we have to be out of here promptly at the top of the next hour.



If you choose to read all the links I have posted, you can concentrate on the "scenery" through the speech.


Anyone wishing to participate in an online poll (spit) you can find one here!
Scroll down near the bottom. It is on the right.
The poll (spit) is to remain open until noon Thursday.

He was shot in the chest and arm, and received shrapnel wounds to his legs - yet he refused medical attention, and stayed in the fight. He helped to repel a second attack, firing grenades at the enemy's position until their guns went silent. For his exceptional courage, Sergeant Rieman was awarded the Silver Star.

Are you running a State of the Union thread here on the Dose? The reason I ask is that I am certain the regular Live Thread will be trashed within 50 posts.

Hey,
In case you missed it I posted something on another dose that was hard to write but I am completely fed up with some posters on this site. If I wanted to read that nonsense, then I would go to another site. It is not what this site is about and the people who post all of that need another hobby. I only log on now to read the headlines of the different threads and most of them are so Anti-President Bush that I have taken up reading and crocheting again.

I think we should stay here on the Dose. I am not at all interested in anything bashers have to say.
