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.

Iraqis all but stood on the side lines. Don't think so. The shift to a democratic form after all this time is going to be tentative, and their situation is still very complicated.

That was something else. That was one of the most moving images I've ever seen. I'm speechless.

I believe carnies call that the blow off?
The demo rats are going to look awfully small after that.

OMG, that hug was an extraordinary moment.
To: Soul Seeker
Oh my God, I can't see the screen...the embrace of the Iraqi woman and the mother of a lost soldier who helped give her that freedom...and Mrs. Norwood mouthed to President Bush "Thank you."
To: lawgirl
THAT was one of the most heartwarming, heartbreaking salute to our soldiers I've ever seen. Did you see Mr. Norwood's Purple tie and then Mrs. Norwood give Sophia his dog tags? And W cried, and I cried...and the Dems are really crying now.
They are done.

Kerry would be up there apologizing for Americas greatness and telling us we all must repent to the gods of the UN.
