I was surprised to not see a thread about this. Did anyone else watch and/or read the transcripts of this spoonfeeding?
Here was my favorite quote:
From the day of our [United States] Founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman on this earth has rights, and dignity, and matchless value, because they bear the image of the Maker of Heaven and earth.
My personal favorite was Bill Kristol praising the speech up and down, calling it one of the best in Presidential history ... and then it coming out that he was one of its writers.
People still take those things seriously? I figure everyone just expects them to be so full of rhetoric and pie-in-sky promises that the content is really just ignored now.

Hey who knows how to better praise a work than the one that done it!! Why blowing your own horn has a loooong line of history. <heh heh> Free publicity, why not!!
I like how Bush rambled on about bringing Liberty and Freedom to the world, but without making any tangible promises he could be held to later.
We all know politicians are talking heads, and Bush is the worst of all. I doubt this man has had one independant thought in his life.
The president who refuses to read papers or otherwise do anything remotely related to informing himself on any subject whatsoever. We've stoped even pretending that we expect anything resembling leadership to come from the figureheads themselves. This is how Jafar was able to cause Aladdin so much trouble!!

Apparently The State of the Union address is lost upon you.
apparently you didnt hear/read/have somebody explain it to you. It was term-specific rhetoric. Nothing new, just amusing that some people somewhere swallow this crap.
If every man, woman and child has rights on this earth, what's stopping us from going to places like Rwanda where millions of people have already died?
