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.

Bush is interested the politics of SUBSTANCE OVER SYMBOLISM

He always has been; and true to his word. A man of his word, that is Bush.

Chris and David Frum talking and even FRUM is missing the import of that passage about Iran.

Bush specifically said he was speaking to the Iranian PEOPLE when he reiterated:

"When you stand for your freedom, we will stand with you".

Now. Go back to the inaugural.
Bush said those very same words. And when he said it at the inaugural, he looked directly into the camera...it was the ONLY time that day he did that.

And now tonight, he did it again, except he singled out the PEOPLE of Iran.

HE'S CALLING FOR REVOLUTION IN IRAN!

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
