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.

Looks like HC has on one of her 1970's Commissar pantsuits on. I wonder if she swiped it out of Kim il Sung's party girl closet?

Actually, it was straight out of Kim Jong Il's closet.

Goodness, they didn't have to! Their stupid speech was probably written BEFORE GW's was! It was just blah,blah, without any context!

Which they'll NEVER get and since they don't like that most on FR support most of President's Bush's proposals,I wish they'd all just hie themselves over to LP and FU and get off FR forever.Nobody is Conservative enough for them;but they really aren't Conservative at all.

I think all the CSPAN call are coming from insane asylums. The absolute dumbest people call that station...on both sides.

democrat from CO adding to the usual whining and is spinning on his social security position.

Yes .. but he said he was open to hear what plan the President had

Is is NOT on board with Harry Reid in threatening a filibuster

Well considering what we saw tonight... Shelia Dumbut Jackson Lee slobbering all over President Bush.

Reid had a red tie( playing MR. Dress up to look like the Prez-

Pelosi had Laura's color on AND she ends her attack with "May God continue to bless America"... I think they are either trying to become Republicans- or the world is on it ear. It is funny sometimes see the soulless wander aimlessly.

The best speech of that sort I have heard. Not a lot of spending. Cutting(Lowering) is our best friend.

I hadn't realize Brian was so tall and Tom Delay was so short.

I agree with you on that. I am 63. My 401K will do better than SS.

The Iraqi lady hugging the mother of the slain marine did it for me too. Tears - big time.

I loved the speech. It seems that the President's eloquence has increased with his confidence.

How lucky we are to have this great man as our leader for the next four years. Then Condi in 2008!
