Early thread on State of the Union address

[orange]

i find this 'sudden' new information on Iraq a bit hard to swallow

[Drake Tungsten]

You just can't please some people, I guess. I think it's been a really good speech so far...

[Guynemer]

What? That wasn't convincing enough for you?

Traitor!

Yeah, Bush is presenting some great new evidence. It really convinces me. Seriously

[orange]

he needs to stop saying "God"

[Nubclear]

Wow. This speech REALLY blew me away

A reluctant war, he calls it......

That was horrible. I was expecting at least SOMETHING more, but....No evidence for the people, I suppose

[Kontiki]

State of the Union speeches are completely unwatchable for one reason - a freakin' standing ovation after every two sentences!!! When did that rediculous tradition start?!?

[orange]

i agree, Kontiki....when I'm president I'll ask them to hold their applause until the end

[chairmanmeow]

What surprised me was that Hillary Clinton gave him a standing ovation. Who knows, maybe the Senate is planning to make Bush go the way of Caesar...

[Guynemer]

When I am Emperor, I will tell them to hold their applause until the end.

Or else.

Ever since FDR started it.

FYI: I'm a registered Independent.

Well, with the exception of the malpractice lawsuit cap, he did okay. I lost my case for mal practice because Tom Ridge was threatening to put a moritorium on it and so my lawyer dropped me and two months later my 3 year limit was up.


Tass: This speech wasn't suppose to be a "new evidence" speech. Don't you watch the news? Powell is doing that next week.

There was a rumor going around that Bush would present new evidence in the speech.

I was hoepful.....

This speech is laying the foundations from which Powell will build upon.

Another problem I have with Bush is with AIDS, Africa is a mess. It's not a money problem it's a cultural and language problem. In africa, you're not a man if you wear a condom. And it's practicly impossible to adress this issue since there are dozens of languages in a single "country" alone. (I put country in quotes because they change every week, and are usualy always in civil war). This is just my opinion, but if Bush is going to do this he should know better then to just send money, which NEVER sees it's way to the people it is intended to.

This is why I'm watching FNC, since I like Brit.

First it was the Jews now it's Iraq who caused 9/11
Both the far left AND the far right are idiots.

I recall a reporter who found a link between Tim McVee and an Iraqi offical in the Phillipines, but the FBI confiscated her stuff and sat on it. This was when Clinton was still pres BTW.
