President Bush will have his work cut out for him when he gives his State of the Union address Tuesday. In a recent USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll, by more than 2-to-1, those surveyed said things have gotten worse in the United States over the past five years. It may take more than a speech to convince them otherwise.

Okay…who’s going to throw out the first explanationBetter grab the Dramamine…there’s gonna be a lot of spinning on this one!
Bush is a poor public speaker and how many people will really watch the State of the Union. I doubt very many.
Every time Bush is on TV. I ask my wife if she will watch him, she always said no.I respond, “Well you voted for him!”. It has been a sore spot with us since the election in 2004.I could not believe he had been re-elected after Lying us in to invading Iraq and said so.“He invade another country for no reason!”“There was a reason, remember 9-11 they bombed us!”“Honey that was Bin Laden and Afghanistan not Saddam and Iraq!”“Oh”.
WriterD–don’t blame your wife too much. Dick “I LIE FOR A LIVING” Cheney linked Saddam and 9-11 over and over again on every talk news broadcast for years. Occasionally, one of the pressitutes would confront him, and then Cheney would grudgingly admit that Iraq wasn’t directly tied to 9-11, and five minutes later he’d be back on message with “we need to strike the terrorists in the heart of their geographic base.”
A lot of people watch Fox and believe that crap.
It’s hard for most people to believe that the highest office in the land would sell them out and sacrifice American lives for an oil empire, but that’s exactly what happened.
Sure as you’re born, Nathan is going to come along and say, “I don’t remember our beloved and widely respected Vice-President ever saying anything of the kind. Do you have any proof that doesn’t come from a socialist website?”
So here’re the pre-emptive links for the fact-impared:
Cheney said on Meet the Press, “We know that [Saddam] has a long-standing relationship with various terrorist groups, including the al-Qaeda organization.” However, in June, the U.N. formally investigated the claim and found absolutely no evidence. As reported by the NY Times, “The chairman of the monitoring group appointed by the United Nations Security Council to track Al Qaeda told reporters that his team had found no evidence linking Al Qaeda to Saddam Hussein” [6/27/03]. Similarly, the bipartisan September 11th commission report “undercuts Bush administration claims before the war that Hussein had links to Al Qaeda” [LA Times, 7/19/03]. According to national security officials, “In the 14 weeks since the fall of Baghdad, coalition forces have not brought to light any significant evidence demonstrating the bond between Iraq and Al Qaeda…Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah, the two highest-ranking Qaeda operatives in custody, have told investigators that Mr. bin Laden shunned cooperation with Saddam Hussein” [NY Times, 7/20/03]
I heard on the news last night that Saddam has a law suite against Bush and Blair for unlawfully attacking Iraq. Isn’t that a hoot?
A guy, maybe he can get the ACLU to represent him. Joking aside, we DID attack Iraq ilegally. I wonder where they’d hear the suit. The Hague is out since we don’t recognize the International Court. If Saddam can get heard in the 9th Circuit, the US is in deep trouble.
You lawer types out there – - -What happens if he loses?
Even better writer – the hijackers came from SAUDI ARABIA! So, in response, we attack their ENEMY! Maybe the idea is to so ingratiate ourselves with the Saudis that they won’t attack us again.
The traitor should just be honest and direct and state the following: “what is good for israel, the zionists and wall street is good for America, that is all’!
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
I really wish Galahad would start posting again. I miss so much his gentle prodding of other posters, always looking to uncover the truth, never pushing his own agenda, always courteous. I miss that.
Galahad is an uncontrollable rock-and-rock animal!
R.N.D.Z.L!
Steve, it’s charming to know you and Galahad are so “Close”.
Touching, ain’t it? Tender, unrequited love. Really breaks your heart.
But, then Steve seems to be in love with several of us. I’m sure they all are flattered, Steve, but it. . .just wasn’t meant to be!
I hope you understand, and I pray your heart will heal. God bless.
And here is a tissue.
I’ll watch bush stutter and stumble through his prepared diatribe.
Predictions: no mention of Bin Laden.
watchwords; enemy, evil-doers, 911, Sept 11, terrorists, stay the course, freedom, democracy, resolve,
Key prhases: those who want to find a job, ownership society, guest worker program,
yawn……..I’m already nodding off.
Mentioned: culture of lifeNot mentioned: Quality of life.
Personal wish: The Democrats should boycott the address.
People bush will point to or mention in the chamber:
Sam Alito….and his crocodile tear wife.
An IraquiA combat veteran…..probably a multiple amputee.
People that bush will not mention:Jack Abramhoff, Tom DeLay, Ken Lay, Cindy Sheehan, Michael Browne.
words you will hear and not hear:
security,privacy reform,scandaleconomy, EnronSaddam, Bin ladenenergy policy, environmentculture of life, stem cell therapy
Patriot Act renewal, Patriot act reform
Mrs. Alito in the honor box? Take it to the bank!!!
JR said -watchwords; “enemy, evil-doers”
My question is: should Bush’s post-impeachment job be writing for Marvel comics or announcing for professional wrestling?
It would be funny, if it wasn’t so pathetic.
Steven,The real joke is that he doesn’t write that dreck himself- he has to pay someone else to write it!
Steve,
Who’s Galahad?
