Working at his desk in the Oval Office, President Bush reviews the State of the Union address line-by-line and word-by-word. |
I am a "senior citizen", on Medicare. My former employer pays 50% of the cost of my medication - at absolutely no cost to me. Mr. Gephardt can take his "universal prescription drugs" and put them where the sun don't shine. I don't want my neighbors to pay for my medication. Period.
I'm one of those who responded to backup. If all the guy can do is to grouse about the size of his tax rebate during the State of the Union, then he truly is obtuse. Change will not happen overnight for tax reform. And like it or not, GW got something done his first year that provided tax relief. That's better than Clinton, eh?
Yup, first up to speak to Andrea Mitchell and the MSNBC cameras.
I must be dreaming - first with Juan Williams saying Bush "surpassed expectations" and Bill Schneider just said he is a "President of character". Guiliani (I thought he was to get an award this evening?) is on LKL saying the speech was somewhat spirtual and philosophical. When Brian Williams asked how he did laying out his vision, Leon Penetta said "he rose to the occasion on foreign policies but can he bring a sense of unity on domestic issues". Hey Leon -- you're turning green.
Here is a sample post verbatim:
"He smirks everytime he says something that screws us over"
tax cuts *smirk*
private retirement accounts *smirk*
faith based *smirk*
I feel like I'm watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I have the uncontrollable urge to shout "Asshole" and throw toast at the TV."
heheheheh I LUV IT!
Squirm Libbies Squirm!
It's what happens when the cleaners have to sandblast Old Crusty to get it clean.
Good point. Could have been like Watsonfellow, who was criticizing Bush on several State of the Union Threads.
That's the first thing my mom and I talked about when the speech was over. Please let me know if he ever did say "I". If so, it had to be only once or twice. I'm thinking maybe not at all.
It's so nice to not hear, "I've worked harder on this than.............."
Oh......the thought is nauseating !!!!!!!
I noticed it several different times. I changed over to CBS and NBC and neither of them seemed to be doing it.
Wooohooooo........Could you tell if Jennings wet his pants?
Shannon, I assure you and all who have lost a loved one that our cause is just, and our country will never forget the debt we owe Micheal and all who gave their lives for freedom.
I admire the leadership of President Musharraf. But some governments will be timid in the face of terror. And make no mistake: If they do not act, America will.
We will be deliberate, yet time is not on our side. I will not wait on events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons.
Our first priority must always be the security of our Nation, and that will be reflected in the budget I send to Congress. My budget supports three great goals for America: We will win this war, we will protect our homeland, and we will revive our economy.
. I am a proud member of my party - yet as we act to win the war, protect our people, and create jobs in America, we must act first and foremost not as Republicans, not as Democrats, but as Americans.
Americans who have lost their jobs need our help and I support extending unemployment benefits, and direct assistance for health care coverage. Yet American workers want more than unemployment checks ? they want a steady paycheck. When America works, America prospers, so my economic security plan can be summed up in one word: jobs.
Good jobs depend on expanded trade. Selling into new markets creates new jobs, so I ask Congress to finally approve Trade Promotion Authority. On these two key issues, trade and energy, the House of Representatives has acted to create jobs ? and I urge the Senate to pass this legislation. .......
Well, you get my point.
