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.

This President will go down in history as the greatest ever.

I AGREE!

I've voted for presidents since 1976, and lived through the ones before. GWB is the best!

[samiam1972]

I am so proud and grateful to be an American tonight! God Bless our President!!!

Did he just slap Kerry?

Sure sounded like it to me. More of a WHOMP than a slap, though. (Think F'n got it?) LOL

President Bush gave his answer to Dusty Reid and Nancy Pelosi. "NO! I AM NOT GOING TO SET A TIMETABLE FOR LEAVING IRAQ", and telling them why was just magnificently put....easily understoood, for even those two partisan pricks.

[Howlin]

Bump to that.

[HRoarke]

Brilliant move to directly address people 55 and over and tell them not to be misled...

"Did he just slap Kerry?"

Sure sounded like a slap :)

My wife just said that President Bush better start taking us 50 somethings back in the Army because his vision keeps expanding. Syria, here we come! :-}

[Txsleuth]

I too was shocked at how little response from the dems regarding Israel and the Palestinians---they just don't like him.

I'm surprised we haven't crashed the FR server.

Thank John Robinson and the people who donated in FReepathons. John recently got done putting in a bunch of servers (IIRC, close to doubling capacity).

WHO IS GIVING THE BUT SIGNAL FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO SIT OR STAND?

[NRA2BFree]

Now let's hope those socialists are gone after in deed.

Yes, let's hope he does. They've been put on notice. ;-)

"That cartoon says quite a lot, doesn't it?"

Indeed it does.

[Maigrey]

Byron Norwood.

[onyx]

Big Time.

He put Syria on NOTICE and I mean ON NOTICE.

[lawgirl]

Oh bless her heart- now I am going to bawl. :(
