Declared war on Iran.

Introduced a basketball player and the lady who started Baby Einstein company.

Deceivingly exploited 9/11 over and over.

Said A BUNCH about uninsured healthcare and essentially said we're not really gonna do anything about it.

Even got in a mention of strawgrass, again!!

Awful. Just awful. Desperate, manipulative and awful.

6. Actually, as Bush speeches go, it wasn't his worst.
Sure, it was full of empty rhetoric, but at least he didn't sound like the bumbling fool he normally sounds like.

And, I mean that phonetically. We all actually know he means the opposite of what he says.

now, most Americans aren't falling for the shit. Somewhat less dangerous than previous speeches. But, still, phew, what a stinker.

10. I thought it was spectacularly absurd, from start to finish.
Mostly because he got so pumped up on his gladhanding walk to the podium that he shook off any nervousness and smirked his way through it.

I swear, that smile kept getting bigger the longer he spoke as he saw even so many DEMS standing up and applauding things he said! I've NEVER seen anything so absurd in my life!

I'm appalled, just appalled. This should have been an exhibition of the utter contempt and distaste the Dems had for a criminal in the White House who has brought and continues to bring our country to its knees and deprive citizens of basic rights while they're being reduced to slave labor for the corporatists Bu$h works for.

Instead, they applauded ... they should not have applauded, not ONE TIME, IMO.

I don't understand this one bit....

If people in other countries watched this to see our Dems show Bu$h very publicly that they were no longer going along with him, they just lost all hope for us here in America.

I think I may have too....

8. BB player came to USA to become a dr, got looked @ and said no, you play bb!
so he made a whole bunch of money and is doing really good things with it. What got me was the smirk during the "dean took a look at him (tall black man) and said 'hell no way boy, you get to be a bb player since...'". Wayyyy obnoxious.

12. On the up side - we only have one more of these SOTU speechs
to get through with this asswipe. Just one. And maybe we can short circuit that one if we can impeach the bastard.
