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.

Well, however many it'd take to make sure the oil flows north, and cheaply. I don't give a damn about another country's soverignty if their independence threatens ours.

Addressing why SS needs to be changed. Society has changed; SS has not.

Two-thirds, this is the strongest I have ever seen the President. The Rats made a BIG mistake in dissing Condi and Gonzalez. W is very loyal to his people, and he is MAD.

Time to save Social Security.
"I have a message for every American 55 or older: Do not let anyone mislead you. For you, Social Security will not change in any way."

Explaining what's wrong with Social Security for younger workers.

Actually it got big applause.

I wish I was taping. The applause were patchy and lower volume than on practically anything else said.
