LoL!
I'm not..I'd rather watch the Food channel than the dems.
Brit Hume just reported that Dennis Kucinich just ran around the crowd to get on camera again! He's acting like a little kid trying to say hi to mom!
I like eaves dropping.
I read a story about one of the creators of DDT - he used to actually eat the stuff to show that it was harmless to humans.
I'm watching the Fox feed. No talking, but he is still signing autographs from both the Democrats and Republicans. He is in campaign mode.
If it wasn't for quinine we wouldn't have gin and tonics :)
Excellent post.
Wow, a much better speech than I expected, especially the beginning of the foreign policy segment. Was almost everything his failed Iraq speech from a few weeks ago should have been.
Whoever the pool camera director was, he has to be a Republican. Some of those cutaways and closeups were extremely effective in reinforcing the message, and frankly, making some of the Dems look foolish. The shot of a sourpuss Hillary while he was comparing Shia militants/Hezbollah to Al Qaeda did her no favors.
Thank you, President Bush, well done.
The only thing you missed was Bush's conflation of "we" the government with "we" the people.
It is very important for presidents, especially Republican ones who claim to be conservative, to make it clear when they are talking about "we" the government, and "we" the people.
Bush doesn't seem to be able to keep this distinction clear in his head, which I believe is one of the main reasons for massive budget deficits.
Also, not to intrude a little fact into this thread, but most people affected by "No Child Left Behind" will tell you that it has massively increased federal control and decreased local control of schools rather than increasing local control as the president claims.
If Bush doesn't know how distorted his education program has become, will he know how distorted his future health care programs will be when they are finally enacted?
Peloosie's sucking on her dentures.
I didn't notice the purple but she had a red suit on. She always gets an aisle seat and wears red.
Yes. Yes. Yes. He needs all the support we can muster. Even if I don't agree about his open borders policy. He is the President and he knows things the public doesn't about the WOT. The Dems will give away the baby and think they are doing good. If they don't take care of the terrorists and the ongoing threat... everything else doesn't mean much.... when you're hunched in your bunker in the basement.
It was funny watching her do calculations in her head when Bush was talking about tax breaks for folks with no health coverage.
