STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]

2/2/05

[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.

"We are witnessing landmark events in history and in the coming years, we will add to that story"...

God Bless America, our leaders and our troops!

I agree...only second to his "let's roll" speech after 9/11. I am so proud to have voted for him!

[onyx]

Big time chills.
I am practically tearing...
I am so proud of him and equally grateful for him.

I don't understand...every year the President, whoever it is, says healthcare must be more available and more affordable and every year it gets less accessible and expensive.

Yep. Just empty words in flowery phrases to molify the masses.

We promise more, you fall for it, and you get less and less.

Don't include height AND width values in your HTML. It distorts the image. Pick one or the other and they'll adjust automatically.

OMG the RATS start to grumble and the President holds up a finger to finish the point and it ends with a huge applause line.

THEY ARE LIKE PUTTY IN HIS HANDS!

No, he did not.

"America's immigration system is also outdated - unsuited to the needs of our economy and to the values of our country. We should not be content with laws that punish hardworking people who want only to provide for their families, and deny businesses willing workers, and invite chaos at our border. It is time for an immigration policy that permits temporary guest workers to fill jobs Americans will not take, that rejects amnesty, that tells us who is entering and leaving our country, and that closes the border to drug dealers and terrorists."

This is insanity

"Advance of freedom will lead to peace"

I think he's also talking about the dems when he talks about ending tyranny.

[hineybona]
