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

I can't see why. Maybe they're projecting.

OF course they Booed. Then want to reek havoc on all of our traditions and norms and tempt us to sink to their low scummy level all the way into anarchy. It is the only way they will ever win anything ever again.

Funds invested in conservative stock & bond index funds...

More conservative the closer you get to retirement...

Have to annuitize, can't lump sum...

Very similar to Fed employees' TSP.

Good stuff.

Government is not the source of those values ... and not redefined by activist judges.

Whoo boy, and the RATS sat on their hands when he said that it's time to extend the same benefits to young Americans that all of them have.
