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.

The Dems are refusing to listen to reality.
The President is powerful on SS. He's starting the argument from a strong position.

Outlining how Social Security is going into debt starting in 2018. DemonRATs booing. IIRC, Dems were also banging the drum that SS was going broke until these past few months. What changed was workable solutions are now being given and not by the Dems.

He is really into this speech!!

"I thought I was in the English Parliament for a moment with that murmur..."
So did I. I thought of Parliament immediately when I heard the voices.

The "Bush is for amnesty crowd" will misread what he said.hat's their job. They're a cargo cult waiting for the Tancredo Reform-Party Presidency.

Good, the Democrat are looking and sounding like the total bratty nuisance children that they are.
To: Howlin
I bet Hillary is wondering if GW would like to go for a stroll in a park with her about now.
To: steveegg; All
My wife thinks that Socha Security may be a rope-a-dope. Maybe GW is pulling a Clinton, an bombing the aspirin factory by bring up SS to take some of the heat off Iraq. Interesting. The big diversion, could it be? I don't think he plays that way though.

It must change. President Bush is absoulutley correct. Also what happened 5-6 years ago when the dems were complaining about ss going broke. Now they say its not?

Rush is going to have a ball with these dem kooks.
To: RightWingMama
I always said - wait until his SECOND term- he is going to take the gloves off and fix as much as he can in those 4 years- now they are here and I think he is a man on a mission.

Military must be impartial in areas of politics. They is why we have a republic and not a military junta ruling us.
