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.

Typical boilerplate "They bad, we good" stuff from Reid.

I thought he sounded rather more like a genteel slaveowner defending the people of Nevada "my slaves are GOOD people, they work HAAAAHrD. I protect my croppers...I mean, constituents!"

Ever seen an eight year old that would even recognize a Senator?

Not since the baseball team left DC ...

"Anybody that starts a speech with, "I was born....",

Did Reid say he was a washerwoman or was he referring to Pelosi ?

Is that how bipartisanship works for the Dems? Reid just said that when the President does what they agree with, they won't stand in their way, but when he doesn't they'll fight it.

Peach, I wasn't gonna watch the speech (taping it) and just read the thread. I can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

But then he started and I sat down and didn't move till it was over. I'm so glad I just listened to it and watched it and just climbed back on here.

Wasn't it great!

Oh yeah, I forgot, he is. Sheeeesh -- what a bonehead.

We support choice in retirement accounts, but won't allow any risk. Sheesh, this is incoherent even by their standards.

Libs are talking about "choice" with regard to handling our own future? When did they decide that we were smart enough to do that? :-p
