STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]
2/2/05
Posted on 02/02/2005 3:43:44 PM PST by Timeout
The pre-spin: Bush will spend about 1/2 the speech on foreign policy, 1/2 on domestic, with heavy emphasis on Social Security reform. It's said he will provide a detailed tutorial on the SS system and its problems with a few details on his personal accounts proposal.
Laura's guests are said to be an Afghan voter and an Iraqi voter (too bad there's no Ukrainian wearing an orange hat!).
Should we start a drinking game on how many times the pool camera swings to Hillary? Hmmm. Probably not...it would likely hamper out typing ability.
Word on the blogs has it that the closing part of the speech is a hum-dinger. Set your VCR's.
Report here on outrageous MediaCrat spin before AND after the SOTU. Pictures and screen caps welcome.

Restrict spending from Federal Government...
Tax relief permanent, and reduce spending below inflation.
Ouch. Cut a few and really help the taxpayer.

He'll do it the same way President Reagan got tax cuts through: by taking it straight to the people and having us lean on Congress.

I just saw the Hildebeast, and she looks Miserable, LOL!
I would hope the immigration comments are nonexistent until the President addresses that issue. If he doesn't they shouldn't appear here.
Those of you who join me in disagreeing with the President on immigration, let's be reasoned in our approach here.
Thanks.
