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.

Whoever wrote that speech is a GENIUS Lot of poetry in there, as well as a full agenda. Except property rights in outer space.

The very best speech I've ever heard from George W. Bush. Ever.
Indubitably! And we loved the way he went 'nucular' on the 'Rats...with just enough KY to ease it in.

Pelosi and Reid would be better served just to cancel their petty, bitter rebuttal.
Can't imagine how anything they say will amount to anything after W's magnificent speech.

I actually feel sorry for "anyone" who has to follow that speech, the impossible dream. Since it's the RATs, though, I don't.

Just went by MSNBC and the person talking was saying that this speech was more a speech by an EMPORER telling the world what they have to do than a president.---
He said the "world" would not like this speech at all, so therefore it wasn't a good SOTU address.

Brit's also giving a rather confusing explanation of the irrelevance of the "trust fund". He's right of course but I don't know how well it came across.

OK I will risk getting banned form here but you can KISS MY A$$!
You're suggesting the Iraqis fought shoulder to shoulder with us since we arrived. Right.

The RATS crossed the line to their Eurotwit counterparts and booed the Pres during the Social Security part.
