Posted on 01/31/2006 4:00:09 PM PST by ohioWfan
WELCOMEThere are 1375 Parties nationwide, and WE are the biggest and the best! Tonight, President Bush, in his STATE of the UNION speech, will discuss America's leadership in the world and share his vision to lead America forward. To seize opportunities here at home, the President will outline the policies needed for the American people to continue to compete in the global economy.
Earlier today, the President sat with Supreme Court nominee, Samuel Alito in the Roosevelt Room at the White House, and watched the Senate confirmation vote as they approved his nomination 58-42, fulfilling one of President Bush's most significant campaign pledges by placing on the Supreme Court another justice who will interpret the Constitution as the Founders intended, and not legislate from the bench. THANK you, President Bush! (Justice Alito was sworn in at 12:07 this afternoon as the 110th Supreme Court Justice)
President Bush also released a statement regarding the death of widow of Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King, Jr, Coretta Scott King and met with TV reporters in the White House to give them a glimpse of his State of the Union, emphasizing his optimism for the future of America. He also continued to work on this speech for tonight.
The economy is strong, we are winning our War on Terror and it is a GOOD DAY in America, and a GREAT time to be a Bush-bot!
Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island on the Daily Dose............ let's PARTY!!!!!!!!!
I'm watching it again now. It is almost better the second time. We know what to watch and listen for. ;*)
#999?
But watch out........you soon become very impatient with normal speed. :)
So let's start the speculation now. If Stevens retires, who should be nominated? I vote for JRB.
People might get the wrong idea here. ;)
I don't think all the Supreme Court has ever attended the SOTU, especially since 9/11.
I was surprised that both Cheney and Hastert were there tonight.
Are we getting lax and complacent?
It'll be good a third time around too. And the fourth and fifth...I'm sure I'll watch it several more times before the week is over.
I saw him the second time around. Yuk!
I have a feeling we'll be coming up with even more good stuff in this speech for quite a while....
Cheney and Hastert have been there every time, I think. Except for the 9/20/01 speech. Cheney wasn't there then.
Mark Steyn has a way of putting my thoughts into words. I was thinking throughout the speech that he was baiting the dems. He looked at their side of the room most of the time. He was obviously saying "make my day" on every issue. I have trouble saying what I saw. He was putting them on the defensive and putting them in a position where they will look petty and mean-spirited if they challenge him, especially on foreign policy and on Social Sec. On S.S. they took the bait and looked ridiculous.
patricia, Fox explained that usually one member of cabinet always remains away. I think tonight it was Sec.Nichols.
You did? I missed him both times...not that that's a bad thing.
***Don't turn that upside down, kitkat.***
Hmmm...you have to stop thinking of Hillary.
I heard the same quote. He's over 80, and there IS a Republican in the White House.....
Actually, that's not what Kristol does. Once in a while, he will toss the President a bone, he will seem to be on his side. I'm sure you've seen the same thing with some people, even on this very forum.
But, if you observe him over the long haul, you will see that Kristol never helps our side.
I am not sure. I don't think so and it is a huge problem, IMO.
Does the 1000th poster win anything? :)
Yeah, you're right. I forgot about that.
Hmmmmm..........Fox is playing the speech again now.
