Dubya, not Bush 41, is Reagan's political heir

Ronald Reagan saved America, no doubt about it. Sometimes Reagan said electrifying things, but usually he was common-sense patriotic.

Dubya was beyond electrifying last night, mostly for content although his delivery was good, too. His choices of what to include in the SOTU were classics. The speech was classic, probably because his speechwriter spends time at FR. All SOTUs from this time forward will be judged by comparison with the 2003 SOTU.

Absolutely! Even Juan Williams of Fox, a dyed in the wool liberal, was touched by the President. In the CBS instapoll 81% now believe the President has the same priorities for the nation as they. He connected with the American people on a very deep level.

Interesting analysis, RW. I'm not sure I am willing to go so far as to suggest 2003 was better than 2002 though! Oh well, why quibble...the guy is good.

BTW, do you really believe his speechwriter frequents FR? Just curious if this was flip commentary, you have evidence, or wishful thinking!

Indeed he was. It was a POWERFUL speech. I was awestruck.

Here's a great quote, in reference to the UN (and their useful idiots in the anti-war club) and Saddam :

"Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option."

What was most electrifying last night was the price tag of the domestic programs.

How do we know this...and whom would that be?
