State of the Union - as it happens

[Ohwell]

Ooh... cutting out tounges and dripping acid...

Now it's a moral crusade, instead of WMD.

On his list of torture techniques used by Iraqis, sounds like the government of El Salvador in the 1980s. But I digress...

I didn't really like that part. Besides being grotesque, it was a pretty obvious "gross-out tactic".

born in 1989...no idea what youre talking about

 

[Skullbones]

Yea, that was a little too graphic.

"We seek peace. But if war is forced upon us, we will fight with full force."

If this is about Iraq, I'm just sickened. But I think (hope) its about terrorists.

is it just me, or does this sound like last years aside from the new budget?

Audience looks tired & bored. 10pm eastern, he should have started earlier or gotten off the air by now.

So, without the applause, this is all of a 10 minute speech, right?

[philippe]

yep and to see all those generals trying to look seriuos but smiling from the inside....

 

[Ohwell]

George looks bored, too... I would get sick of repeating the words freedom and prevail all the time. Plus getting interrupted.

Is it just me or is CFC unbearably slow?

 

[cgannon64]

"May God bless, and may God continues to bless America."

And he's out of there. 74 interruptions. So what did ya think?

sleepy

 

[Ohwell]

Ah, they just said almost 80 applause interruptions, and 3 cell phone rings.

It's over, and everyone is relieved.

 

[philippe]

Its done...finnaly

The designated absent Cabinet member is John Ashcroft...so, if the Capitol blows up, then a lot of liberals are going to be frightened...

If that was for real, the guy who left his cell phone on must feel like an idiot. And the guy who called too.

Anyway, in retrospect, I thought it was a good speech. The enviroment/economic proposals were nice, but the Iraq/terrorism felt like the same old rhetoric.

[size=]but thats just me[/size]

 

[kojimanard]

Thats it, Saddam is history. IMO, there will be a big rise in the polls supporting that action.

 

[Simon Darkshade]

Just an interesting observation: On a news site, the top story is "Bush seeks to rally Americans in speech". The second item after this is "Denise Brown mulls Senate run", followed by "Kissinger hospitalised in New York"... Syncronicity...

 

[joespaniel]

I went out.

Did I miss anything good?

And I only watched half of it.

I don't understand the excitement over these things. Nothing interesting in politics has happened during a State of the Union address; its just hoopla.

I'm surprised you're so interest

 

[wtiberon]

yeah he's toast

 

[philippe]

Good for the economy tomorrow....
dow jones will rise 4 a 5% in these dark times.

 

[amadeus]

Gary Locke (Governor of Washington, Democrat) was talking about the federal defecit...

Maybe if they didn't spend so much...
