it's the same crap every year. I'm burned out on the idea that he'll offer up anything new. The man is a sitting duck for the rest of his presidency. He will accomplish nothing. He has failed as president, just like he did in life prior to president.

And yet, you'll be willing to criticize about what he says.

In hopeful news, I read he's going to open discussion on some topics that the Dems want.

Otherwise, yes SS, he's a complete fukin screw-up.

he's going to discuss cutting gas consumption by 20%. I'll believe it when I see it. Throughout his administration, he has been nothing but all talk. He's far from a green president. He doesn't give one rip about the environment.

I forgot, you'll get your review of what he says from moveon.org.

I don't say you have no right to criticize. I'm just pointing out that your criticizim will doesn't require that you know anything about the subject, or what he actually says.

I offer EnS's comment above as an example;
[b]“he's going to discuss cutting gas consumption by 20%. I'll believe it when I see it. Throughout his administration, he has been nothing but all talk. He's far from a green president. He doesn't give one rip about the environment.”

LOL...I like Nigal's idea the best....

"Ladies and Gentlemen...and Democrats in Congress....for years Iran and North Korea have wanted a nuclear weapon....(looks at watch) they should be getting them in about 5 minutes."

OK, BM, cute cartoon. Perhaps you can explain to me why it is the federal government's place to provide health care. My copy of the constitution doesn't mention that.

They are going to announce something with energy and alternative fuels. Some bastard driving a hydrogen fuel cat (it has logos all over it) cut me up on Capitol Hill this morning.

I liked the speech. The Democrat response was so lame. When are these dolts going to offer a plan?

The only way he is going to cut gas consumption is to keep allowing Americans to lose their jobs. No job, no money, no can buy gas. BAM! He will then take the credit for cutting gas consumption but will not take responsibility for how it happened.

And as for sending more troops to Iraq? The Sunnis and Shiites have been killing each other for centuries. What the hell does he think a few thousand more troops are gonna do? We might still hold the "Superpower" title by a thread, but as far as I can see, we hardly are eligible to settle Biblical issues. Putting our men and women in harms way just to satisfy the male ego just isn't right IMO. They have been there long enough, they caught Saddam, his neck is now snapped, I say we leave, call it a day. Come back here and protect our borders from the next free-loaders.

I see where they clocked Nancy Pelosi at 25 to 30 blinks per minute...either she is REALLY nervous (in interrogation/interviewing we call that LYING) or she realizes that no matter what her intentions the cesspool that IS Washinton means NOTHING WILL GET DONE.

I didn't watch the Address, watched a cool episode of Dirty Jobs. I guess my problem is the President was proposing cutting gas usage in 10 years.....quick how much longer will he be in office????? 2 years. And I agree with the BIG BROTHER idea.
As a confirmed SMALL GOVERNMENT fan....I am tired of the Federal Government telling me how to live my life.

If he thinks settling Biblical issues are his specialty, he hasn't made much of an effort re: Irael/Palestine.

UM marky mark...if you note there have been alot more Camel Jockey intramural killing than anything from the Isrealis.

Nigal is correct...as freaking usual.....State of the Union is a sales speech.

State Of The Union=S.N.A.F.U.

I think you will find that the Palestinians outweigh the Israelis in the body count.
I can't tell you the ratio, but the Israelis have out-scored the Palestinians.

That is merely an observation and should in no way twisted around to call me a communist/terrorist-lover/traitor/wife-beater/chicken-thief/highwayman or anything else nasty.

Marky...the Palestinians attack ANY target the Isrealis RESPOND. I wish we would cut the Isrealis loose...let em go bananas for 6 months there would be no Palestinian problem...(since there is no such thing as Palestinians historically)

Watched most of it. Once the praise dance started, I went to work and listened to the rest on the radio.

It was interesting to see Bush sing for his supper; I never knew he had it in him.

Pelosi's look after George firmly placed his lips on her ass was classic. Same thing for the Cheaney expressions and Bush trying to get things started in the beginning.

It looked at times that the camera was focused more on Dick and Nance then on Bush; it was like she was in his spotlight.

I actually like the "Humble Bush"; it works well for him. It seems as though he has a lot of practice with this shtick.

It's a shame that Bush has worn out the American people so much that he has to basically beg for another try at Iraq. This is really asking a lot. I'd like to see our troops home; I'd like the mess in Iraq cleaned up as well.

We're now pigeon-holed into a very unwelcoming position. We go at it, again, and make it happen, then we can have salvation from this ball and chain and get back to out producing everyone economically.

Four time a charm? I don't know. I do know that we are royally screwed right now.

Maybe George should be on 'American Idol', if the foot fits in the mouth -wear it.

Anyone else notice that he introduced a plan to raise taxes on those who earn health care benefits as part of their jobs?

Another Bush to break the pledge...
