don't get me wrong..I support the President. That doesn't mean I refrain from critiquing him- quite the contrary, I support him by saying he needs improvement in certain places- he hasn't seemed to fix them yet,but hey- he isn't John Kerry (disaster....).
I heard tonight's speech before, several times in fact. Bush doesn't like to deviate from message- which isn't bad- but it makes for generic, often predictable speeches. He remained steadfast in the fight in Iraq and against Terrorism- even throwing in some big words towards Iran- which was greatly enjoyed. He made a desire to balance the Budget, Cut taxes, and reduce the deficit in short order (the three are not mutually exclusive).
but I've heard this all before--tel me something new...oh OK tax cuts for Health care... heard it.....Progress in Afghanistan....heard it.......Bipartisanship.....heard it, though this time I think he meant it......"Madame Speaker"...wait-haven't heard that before!
on a humorous note: Cheney looked bored out of his mind... I think he was playing solitaire on his blackberry...and Ted Kennedy looked passed out- again...someone let him get alot of the Johnny Walker bottle and let him pre-game...bad idea.
hopefully next year Bush will saying that will piss someone off.
