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.
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.
