Guess you'll have to wait & see ;-)

Notice the dems ignoring his advice.
And there was slick willie speaking from Davos the other day saying he is AGAINST setting a time table for our exit from Iraq. Said it would be a very bad idea.....
Unlike slick willie's speeches, this was too short. I wanted it to go on and on. The man speaks to our hearts and souls with conviction borne on his faith.
He has always been anti American and was responsible for the legislation that drove us from Viet Nam leaving that part of the world at the mercy of despots.
And America with the reputation for cutting and running.
It's just that in those years there was no internet, no talk radio, no one but the MSM spinning the lies for the left.
I knew there was no hope at all for intelligent comment from Juan when he stated that perhaps the exit polls were correct and the actual votes were wrong.
Guess you'll have to wait & see ;-)
I suspect Brian Lamb and Sullivan have similar proclivities and despise the President.
He did and got a rousing applause...from the Republican side!
My son was in the Army stationed overseas during that election and I will not forget.
Harry Reid response repeatedly intimates that the president's ideas are "immoral" - in a shameful and awkward attempt to convince the American people that the president himself is immoral. Reid is driving the wrong one on one-way street with such idiocy.
Pelosi response....not even worth a comment.
"I cannot forgive LIEberman for going along with the plan to disenfranchise the military votes in Florida."
I agree! While he talks a good game, he sold his soul to Satan on that one. I'll never forget those Sunday morning show appearances where put out the damage control spin for the DNC.
Ditto! on Lieberman
I will never forget that he campaigned in Connecticutt as a 'moderate' and campaigned at the side of Algore as a flaming lib at the same time.
I do not trust or respect one word he says.
I know what the general idea is, but government has no business telling me how I should save, where I should save or even if I should save. In a free society, people would have complete control over their own money. Quite a novel concept these days.
Contrary to the general consensus around here, there is nothing private or even remotely capitalist about Bush's "privatization" plan. His is a prescription for yet more government control. If he gets his way, bureaucrats--many of whom retire with pensions ranging in the hundreds of thousands of dollars--will tell you which stocks you can invest in, how much you can invest, how much you can withdraw and the rate at which it can be withdrawn. On top of that, in order to make your investments "safe," they will have to impose more regulations to prop up those companies.
Put simply, market forces won't apply. It's a proposal that pays lip service to capitalist ideals while at the same time undermining the free market. (Besides, anyone who honestly believes that the feds will have no way of getting their hands on these so-called "private" accounts is living in a dreamworld.)
Unfortunately, conservatives will go along with this ridiculous plan simply because it's "better" than what the Democrats are proposing. Here's an idea: why not start to phase out Social Security? Fulfill the obligations to those currently collecting checks and then offer a refund to people for evey dime they've paid into it. Finally, allow the rest to opt out completely.
The problem is that Republicans can't even bring themselves to admit that the entire concept of a government-controlled retirement plan is not only unconstitutional, but immoral. Until we get to that point, things will keep getting worse.
Annie..I heard on Fox this morning talk about the Dems booing during the speech..I must have missed that?..when was it..thanks
I'm not sure it was actually booing, but think they were responding "no" to some of his SS reform potentials.....though most of those ideas have, at one time or another, been touted by Dems over the last decades.
OK..that's what I thought..thanks..It was a tad churlish.BTE..see where the Prez goes FIRSDT today..North Dakota..he's got a Dem senator square in his sights..Bye Bye..Conrad..
That would be sweet. Gearing up for mid-terms....not wasting any time!
Conrad will have to make some hard choices on how he votes on judicial nominations..and filabusters
It wasn't so much booing as it was hooting in derision, and it was when Bush quoted the actuarial prognosis for the future of Social Security.
Apparently the Dems have some CBO report that pushes back the date of bankruptcy by ten years, but Bush did not use it, using instead the previously accepted time-frame. At least, that's my concept of what they were resting on in daring to hoot at the President's words.
However, it sounded like they didn't take the very real problem seriously, and Bush turned that around on them with his very next lines about the view of those of us with children in their twenties that they will not have a sound retirement system when they retire is that it's no small matter. Hahahahaha!
Then the GOP clapped like crazy.
