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.

Note to Nancy: it's already underway.

How many times did Reid say "Democrats"? It is all about them. That demonstrates it right there. Let's hope they keep it up. If they do, they might as well call themselves "whigs".

Thanks for the clarity on this - some seem to be thinking she got her way. Good for him. I don't even know what the malcontent looks like. Don't want to know.

"and we did not hear one tonight" ... "cuz I had earplugs in and I certainly ain't hearing one since Pres Bush stopped speaking."

The two Dems were sent to kill of what remains of the Democratic party.... LOL! I am sure there will be plenty of folks running very fast and very far away from them tonight. Just exactly like I did after the Anita Hill hearings.

It was an excellant speech, don't you think?
I liked his bold stance on Social Insecurity.
His remarks were VERY encouraging. It looks like he's going to put a lot of energy into this.

However, I would have liked to see President Bush address whether guest workers will be eligible for social security, or not.

That's a big can of worms, IMO.

even people who don't pay much attention to politics will loathe Dusty Harry and Pelosi for ripping apart the President after such a dynamic speech from our commander in chief.
