President Bush is making a speech at noon. Fox is reporting he will address the criticism aimed at him by the democrats in the past two weeks.
Mod note: Click here for transcript thread.
That bothered me and from the lame applause, the audience thought it was a loser line, too. But he went on to praise brave Iraqis who risk all day after day to build democracy...and that's certainly true.
May God bless you extra special today, as I type through blurred eyes.
Ditto.
Welcome back Mr. President! We've missed you!
Bingo. Make the Dems play some defense for once.
LOL at Kerry's quote snuck in there!
I got sound just as it ended.
I'll have to wait for the transcript.
President George W Bush is the Freedom President. Once again the Republican Party drags the Liberals kicking and screaming like spoiled brats, blindly into the 21st century. George Bush is a visionary that sees the World as it can be, not as it is. He is the eternal optimist as well an eternal soldier. Never before have we had a leader who can visualize the power of people’s hunger for Freedom in the oppressed spirit, smoldering like a glowing ember in a wheatfield. Whether it is in a village in Afghanistan, a town in Iraq or facing a tank in Tiananmen Square the human spirit longs to feel the warm embrace of Lady Liberty.
W has blown the cool breath of Freedom onto the embers of Democracy on the Iraqi People who are in their infancy of self rule. Just as a toddler begins crawling and then reaching up to learn to walk before becoming an adult, we are witnessing that child nation take his first step. As our infant begins to walk in a room full of dangers, we can take pride in every step of that journey. There has been falls, cuts, bumps and bruises to get to the first step and there will be pitfalls along the way, but we and especially our Troops, should take great relief in the Freedom and hope for Iraq.
The fire is beginning to spread as the hope and hunger of the human spirit is being ignited. The oppression of the Middle East was not as severe or overt as was seen in Communist Russia or China with the physical presence of The Wall, since Saddamn’s wall was mental. They could come and go as they pleased if they had enough money or were connected, but their oppressors could snatch them off the street to be raped or tortured at any given moment. Now they are free to speak or write as they please and vote for their leaders. These flames are warming hearts and minds while pushing back the deep black darkness.
Over the next couple of years we will see a Government formed and a Leader chosen to lead the Iraqi people out of their darkness. We will see them taking ownership of their Country and their own personal Freedom. As they begin to understand that the oppression is behind them they will be taking their torches to the darkest corners of their Country. These flames will expose the terrorists from their hiding places and bring them to justice. The Wildfire will engulf the terrorist hidden in the brush to expose him as a hindrance to Freedom Worldwide. The average Iraqi as we saw on January 30th does not want to see his child blown up, rather has a heart that hopes for a new sunrise.
We are seeing sparks spreading across the tinderbox of Persia. Of all people, the PLO and Hezbola have seen the light as well as the peoples of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Lebanon. While these fires begin to burn bright in Beirut we will see the sparks ignite into flames in these Countries as well as Iran and move around the World to the slave fields of China, Cuba and Korea. Once people understand that Freedom can happen in Countries like Russia, Afghanistan and Iraq, they will realize that Dictators are actually Sand Castles standing against an Ocean. They cannot quench the thirst for Freedom with threats or terror any longer.
President Bush has become one of the Great Visionaries of history. Just as the invisible hand of Capitalism is the most efficient form of economics, so too is the invisible hand of Freedom and Democracy. This hand will expose and capture the Terrorists around the World great and small. People will throw off their shackles of fear and follow the model of Afghanistan and Iraq to fan the white hot flames of Liberty. As America and her friends fuel these flames, millions will be freed from their oppression and take back ownership of their lands. As this Wildfire spreads throughout the World, despots cower in fear as they wait for their ultimate demise at the hands of God’s servant leader, the Freedom President George W Bush.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighting Troops
cnn is puking on themselves.. unreal. They say he took 39 minutes to hit his critics. cnn your biased and your scum and you have an agenda.
I flipped them off after 20 sec of listening to them.
Back to RUSH! WE just got our pep rally today and it is up to us to go defend our PRESIDENT and TROOPS. Dims what them harmed.
He should give it again at the State of the Union in January.
And then just walk off the podium doing the cabbage patch.
I would love for him to be able to connect those dots in a speech, but while we have troops in Iraq, that would be foolhardy.
Fox commentator -- "the president has got his groove back"
Not a peep... as if ANWR and Iraq have nothing in common...
lame...
"President Has His Grove Back"
I'm sorry. :(
I hope you get to hear it on the CSPAN archives.
When the president speaks I feel it all through me.
God Bless our president and our troops.
Why are you torturing yourself?
Funny that a guy could have a bust of Teddy Roosevelt looking down on him in the Oval Office every day and not be reminded of the need to go out and say the things that need to be said. Bully Pulpit time.

Who's in da White House?
I didn't miss those ads, but I do miss them, now.
I have to confess, the President did give a pretty good speech.
He should give another one next week and the week after, etc. etc.
