State of the Union Address

It was, I think, percisely what we all expected it to be: a rah-rah for the Republican view of America. No percise answers were given to the general problems of the deficit, nor social security, nor health care, nor tort reform- but this was not suprising. The only thing worth mentioning, I think, is that Bush has finally managed to come up with a coherent explanation for his Foreign policy. Shame he didn't manage it 4 years ago.

Anyone else have thoughts?

At least one blatant lie.

"We are working with European allies to make clear to the Iranian regime that it must give up its uranium enrichment program and any plutonium reprocessing, and end its support for terror,"

Suuuuuuuure they are. Which is why they refuse to join multilateral talks.

I thought that's how we were helping!

The United States has no right, no desire, and no intention to impose our form of government on anyone else.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Wait, he said the US, didn't say anything about his administration.....this might be true, then.....

Oh, and by the way, which part of working WITH our allies you not get?

His foreign policy explanation has been pretty consistent from what I've seen. I just disagree with the ideology because I believe it's fundamentally flawed (in exactly the same way communism is fundamentally flawed).

Overall, nothing much new there. Just a rah rah for policies that have been in place for a while. SS is probably a minor exception but it's been pretty widely discussed that he was going to bring in private accounts.

Honestly, I could go through it and tear it apart quote by quote into stuff that was stupid, stuff that was fluff and stuff that was good, but seeing there's nothing really new, is there really any point?

Somehow, I think Partha missed the joke. Oh well.

One has to show a sense of humor as a precondition to 'joking'.

Overall, it was a pretty effective speach.

While there may be things I disagree with, I think that speach did what it was deisgned to do. Rally people behind the president and weed the support away from the radical democrats like teddy, and barbara. I saw an guy on some network, that said the Bush administration feels lucky to have their main detractors as harry reid, barbara boxer, nancy pelosi and teddy... as long as the democrats allow those people to speak, bush looks good no matter what agenda he pushes.

I would have had some thoughts on the speach but the sheer horror of watching Nancy Pelosi try to look human destroyed them all. It just did not look natural.

I'd prefer an Israeli style wall...or maybe the ww2 german approach to enemy snipers...drop a bunch of arty where it came from

.

Unfortunatly it will take at least 2 of those shots to hit their fatal mark before anything for real is done.

Pretty shithouse "snipers" if they can barely hit a vehicle let alone actually hit a person.
