Thanks.Bookmarked.
Every year of my presidency, we've reduced the growth of non-security discretionary spending, and last year you passed bills that cut this spending.

So, these charts are not true?

Worth repeating:
"Lincoln could have accepted peace at the cost of disunity and continued slavery. Martin Luther King could have stopped at Birmingham or at Selma, and achieved only half a victory over segregation. The United States could have accepted the permanent division of Europe, and been complicit in the oppression of others. Today, having come far in our own historical journey, we must decide: Will we turn back, or finish well?"
Interesting that they get all of their perks, but are unwilling to take care of the "little guy". And they think that the American people are too stupid to see it.
Thank you. I watched the address live, but this will help me pick up on what I might have missed. It was an excellent speech.
Do you have a transcript of the Governor of Virginia's response? Much better than any other Democrat's response in the past.
Dangit, you beat me by 33 seconds.
Thanks for posting the transcript!

It was at this very moment, as the clueless Dimwits shamelessly showed their asses, that I realized that what I have hoped for has been accomplished: The RAT party is lost in a fog so dense, a hatred for this country so vile, that they are done as a major political force.
Sure, they can make themselves heard, they can preen and pose for the cameras, tell us in their haughty tones what is best for America, but they can no longer claim any high ground in any argument. They are doomed, and to think it was the swaggering, idiot cowboy, from Texas, that finished them off in less than two terms.
It is a glorious day, indeed.
Our nation needs orderly and secure borders. (Applause.) To meet this goal, we must have stronger immigration enforcement and border protection.
My favorite line from Full Metal Jacket was, "You talk the talk. But can you walk the walk?"
They're concerned about unethical conduct by public officials
Clinton and Kennedy come to mind.
"In a complex ad challenging time, the road of isolationism and protectionism may seem broad and inviting -- yet it ends in danger and decline."
So the first 170 protectionism-laden years of our country consisted of decline? And what's the danger? That China will lose the ability to smash us in 20 years? I noticed the typical lumping of isolationism with protectionism when they are two seperate animals. This country has been involved in international matters during both protectionist and free-trade periods.
My favorite, very Jeffersonian.
That's nice, but the Contract With America Congress did pass a line item veto, and the SCOTUS said no.
Thank you. Ever since Clinton, I've realized the SOTU address is more digestible when read rather than watched. I don't need the long applause breaks or the dog-and-pony elements. I just want the meat and potatoes of the speech - this saves time.
BTW, I thought the line item veto was already law and wondered why Bush wasn't using it. I thought it passed while Clinton was still president.
I wondering what message Bush was sending when he spoke to the Iranians.
At a minimum he invited the Iranians to overthrow the mullahs.
