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.

Now do we get to listen to Pelosi? We go from what makes America proud to what we have to be ashamed about.

I totally agree.
I think that the only other speech taht I can think of that comes close is the one on sept 20, 2001, and also his speech at the RNC in 2004. But WOWOWOWOWOWO was this a great speech.
*sigh* I am so glad to be an American and a Bush Babe!!

Wow, I am proud to say I just cried three times during his speech. The last times being when the marine's mom hugged the Iraqi woman. Wow, I am so proud to be alive at this time in our country's history.
To: Joe Hadenuf; Admin Moderator
AM Would you please finally do something about this piece of human debris
To: Mad Dawgg
OK I will risk getting banned form here but you can KISS MY A$$! Some of those poor people died to vote. Eat SH!T and Shove it. You're lucky; I've been getting Freepmails all through the speech telling me NOT to reply to the people on this thread who are telling lies about Bush's immigration program.
I'm suppose to just let them say whatever they want, unchallenged.
And from someone who has worked against Bush from day one.

Did anyone make it through that without a tear? That was really good. It sure was!
To: Peach
Well I agree with you but a couple of our resident FReeper trolls are out on this thread knocking the Iraqi's, the election, the mission. So tiresome.
Joe, maybe you ought to go sleep it off. You're diaper needs changed.
