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.

I sure missed that. After the speech?? It's worth watching it again just to catch that, if it happened as you say. I wonder if he asked him how much longer before he leaves SeeBS.

One of the congress critters from CA just said on CNN that Social Security $$ isn't OUR money; that the money belongs to HER mother and her friends!

If the Bush plan involves temporary workers filling slots no one will accept where the minimum wage is offered, while the prevailing wage is materially higher for such jobs, than I will lash out.

I understand, but look at how this country was built. Interestingly, the GOP leader in Michigan said several months ago that our economy here was so bad because of high wages. Everyone lashed out at her. Today the University of Michigan released a study that said the Michigan economy is not rebounding because of...high wages (causing business to go to other states and failing to attract new business). Which is all to say, these are complicated times, even with out the immigration question.

What a nice story, Claytay! One of the reasons I was an early Bush supporter is that when I saw him on C-SPAN, he talked to everyone the same, whether they were Republican bigshots or middle school kids. All were treated with respect and kindness.

He is a good man.

"Hi, I'm John Kerry and I served in Vietnam."

Oh yeah! That's right. He's the only guy who scored a hat trick.

1. Sided with Hanoi
2. Sided with Ortega
3. Sided against the US in Iraq.

" I don't mean to overanalyze him...but I think that was before he opened his eyes and saw what that election meant."

Really? Where do you stand on the inked fingers?

I think he may be reconsidering how far he and the Dems have gotten from true "liberal" values.

Maybe for a moment or two

But then Chriss will go back to his same old liberal tricks

He always does

"Will Teddy Kennedy be a bobble head doll tonight?"

I don't recall seeing ever ready Teddy (aka the Swimmer).
Did anyone else seem him?

As a matter of fact, there seemed to be more than several empty suits (oops I mean seats) on the Dims side. Is that just because they have less #s than us or because some were 'boycotting' or both?

One statement DUBYA made tonight that really caught my attention was "If the IRANIAN people really what Freedom, America stands behind them."

Does this move IRAN up a notch on the "We Don't take any $h!t" List or does this simply mean a diplomatic approach to free yet another country?

I"m so glad Joe Scarborough jumped down Ron Reagan's throat, good and proper! Imagine the pettiness of Matthews and Ron Reagan to try and spoil that genuine, emotional moment.

But I LOVE Ron Reagan being on MSNBC as an analyst. It really makes MSNBC look bad. He's so unqualified, so unworthy, and such a low life, mean-spirited and hateful. I think he's a bitch!

Ron was saying that the President used the family that lost their son,and the Iraqi lady to gain favor for his Social Security plan!

Because, of course, these folks are daft enough to be "used". Typical lefty condescension.
