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.

Heh, heh, heh.
Don't OMG! You are too quick to fire.
I went to www.whitehouse.gov, searched using the word "amnesty" and found McClellan's quote stating that the President opposes amnesty.
I stand corrected, with apologies to Howlin.

"Fighting terrorists in Iraq so we don't face them here at home."
Yes, something that the peaceniks who desperately want our troops to come home have so conveniently forgotten. If the enemy were not busy with us chasing them down around Iraq, they would be here in our country trying to outdo the horror of 9/11.

He just defused Pelosi's "occupied" remark by quoting an Iraqi who said "Saddam was the real occupation"

Try not to forget when it comes to Condi that it is rare for anyone to run for higher office without previously winning at a lower level, not impossible, but rare. That being said I think Condi is a genius.

Biden. He used to be bald as a billiard ball. Got hair plugs. Now he just looks like a chemo patient.

The media will be talking about this speech for a month.I can`t wait to hear the hysteria from the left.
Boy he looks comfortable with who he is tonight.
Letting the dems and their sniveling cohorts around the world know he isn`t a lame duck and they better be prepared.

They don't need to fear purple fingers, they need to fear blackened faces with hemp ropes coming for them in the night. They need to fear both; the ones with the purple fingers send the ones with the blackened faces.
