STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]

2/2/05

[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.

Agreed. It is important for the armed services to remain loyal to the Constitution, not to Faction.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

THe Rats never, never, never thought a Republican president would have the courage to propose Social Security reform in his SOTU.

Good Evening

[DoughtyOne]

He's doing a much better job of explaining himself this evening. Not bad at all.

[doug from upland]

He made the case for social security personal accounts. He did it very well.

Re: Private accounts:

The money is yours, and the government can never take it away.

[Wormwood]

The democraps have not been COMPLETELY out of power in a century or so.

EVERYTHING is a first for them these days.

[steveegg]

I'd suggest straightening her out before some you start hearing the meows.

[Lazamataz]

I don't think thats been done before, though. Democrats: New lows, every day.

[Terriergal]

2 SOTU threads going at the DUmp. One has 130 posts and the other one has 74 posts.

ha ha! losers.

[F16Fighter]

"Still over a half hour to go, but don't expect to hear anything substantive."

Border security and immigration issue got 10 seconds...I'm afraid that's all we'll hear about it tonight.

Meanwhile, who knew SS was such a huge issue??

[NautiNurse]

I'm clapping for: "The money in the account is yours, and the government can never take it away."

[STARWISE]

Imagining they're in Parliament .. and I bet they thought that would be brilliant. Losers! .. LOL

[Petronski]

Have you (or anyone else) noticed the President's accent is more apparent?


I like it.

[MontanaMatt]

Let us all go back in time for a moment to the debates. Now come back to the present. HOW SWEET IT IS!!!!

[Pharmboy]
