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.

Someone should start a "parallel universe" thread on a State of the Union address by "President Kerry": He enters wearing his now-familiar pink tie, gestures to the lovely and slightly topsy Teresa in the gallery (accompanied by Chirac, who will give the cue to begin), and gazes upon his new cabinet.
Let nobody forget how close we came to disaster last November.

I defy you to post ANY article where George W. Bush promised to get rid of the income tax and abolish the IRS.
And we can wait while you find it; you've got a hour and 20 minutes.

I was thinking the same thing, friend. Dammit, those pesky dems. Doing anything they can to put a black eye on tonight. Gonzales should be there. Think karma. Their day is coming.

Is it purple? I thought it was black. Guess it's time to adjust the color on the TV :-)

I would hope the immigration comments are non-existant until he addresses that issue. If he doesn't they shouldn't appear here.
Those of you who join me in disagreeing with the President on immigration, let's be reasoned in our approach here.
Thanks.
