State of the Union...... LIVE THREAD

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Following the tradition begun by George Washington on Jan. 8, 1790, President George W. Bush prepares for his State of the Union Address at his desk in the Oval Office, Thursday, Jan. 24.

Working at his desk in the Oval Office, President Bush reviews the State of the Union address line-by-line and word-by-word.

Dick Gephardt is rolling over and peeing on himself.

"But America will always stand firm for the non negotiable demands of HUMAN DIGNITY. The Rule of Law, Limits on the power of the State.

Respect for women, privat property, equal justice and religious tollerance.

...Thank you all, may God Bless."

Cynthia McKinney shook W's hand and said.." Hey, English Only, Baby".

It means she's a total idiot. Ooops, that's every day. BTW, she is my misrepresentative.

I'm sorry, I read backup's responses and it is ludicrous that he was banned from FR because of them. Backup was just making waves that he did not think the Tax Cut was that great. While I don't agree with him, I find it questionable to ban him for saying that.

OH NO! FOX now has little DICK on!

hey! little DICK just used the phrase, "first war of the 21st Century"....where'd you get that line, little DICK??

little DICK also praised the military men and women: HEY DICK! Where the hell were you in November and December of 2000 when your party sent thousands of lawyers to Florida to NULLIFY military votes????

[watsonfellow]

He ended it horribly because there was an applause line a few seconds from the ending, so that he actually ended it while applause from the previous line was still going.

"backup" -- No current Freeper by that name.

Gee, guess Jim meant what he said, huh? :- )

Cynthia McKinney shook W's hand and said.." Hey, English Only, Baby". I replayed it several times. What the heck do you think that means?

She was talking to the congresswoman from Florida across from her who just spoke with GWB in spanish.

[rwfromkansas]

I don't know what is wrong with CBS, but they only had glowing reviews....I didn't even hear the E word mentioned.

[VRWC For Truth]

My TV automatically turns off when Gephardt appears. Very strange. LOL

[Mike Darancette]

ABC had their anaylist brought to you by >>>>>> a sponser. Disney must be hard up!!!!!!!!

NBC had a conversation on ENRON between State of Union and Response.

[denydenydeny]

It's probably not a good idea to try to interpret the workings of the mind of Cynthia McKinney.

[Recovering_Democrat]

LOL! YES, little DICK is a loser.

[antivenom]

ahhhhhh the GEP chip.....kewl!

[ThinkDifferent]

He's into his class warfare act now, and babbling about "gambling Social Security away in the stock market". Who could have predicted it...

[Timeout]

I was over on MSNBC. Brian and Howard Fineman both summed it up when they talked about the dilemma the Dim-o-crats face after this speech. (Not good for the Dims)

I think they're responding like I did. It wasn't the strongest speech I've ever heard (though it was good), but it DID WHAT IT HAD TO DO. GWB is in an incredibly strong position coming out of that chamber tonight. Gephartd looks like "yesterday". W looks like tomorrow. Am I happy? You betcha!

[OliverWendellDouglas]

It will be a thrill to watch one of these that is half as long as his predecessor....and a gazillion times more meaningful, not to mention filled with stuff we don't have to swear at.

More character in Bush's fingernail than in the two of them together.

[Dog]

Little Dickie just glossed over the 401K stuff!!

Enron is DEAD!!!

Desperate Liberals = Desperate Measures

[anniegetyourgun]

Okay - I give it a 9.5 for delivery and a 7 on content. I'm still not happy about the touting of the so-called education "reform." Not happy about discussions of more waste to Head Start and early childhood ed.

Did you notice that Hillary was on her best behavior tonight. Someone got to her after the last speech behavior.
