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.

[Terriergal]

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.

Yeah. It'd be cheaper just to encourage the terminally ill to die with dignity and withhold treatment. /sarcasm

[GW and Twins Pawpaw]

I stood and clapped when she gave the dimmos the 'finger'.:-)

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Al Jazeera would put it on their front page, like they did the first "picture" of Cody being held captive. You trying to increase their sales?

[Purrcival]

Sure, Iraqis have won our respect, by coming out and voting under threat of death. No one is taking anything away from our AWESOME troops, or the Brits or Aussies or Poles, etc.
