And as usual, the rude one has a great take on the SOTU. Rude language and disturbing images. If you cant take ‘em dont click.

But if you have a strong stomach and a funny bone…

Regardless of party affiliation, as a country, we need to move past the Rovian political gamesmanship and proceed for the betterment of the country as a whole.

I thought the Bush speech was incredible in it’s disconnect with reality. George is truly living in the land of make believe.

Governor Sebelius only had ten minutes to rebut the Bush fairy tale – obviously, she could not go down the road of a point by point rebuttal or even express specific proposals from the Democrats.

I thought the Bush SOTU address was about par for his presidency, from bad to worse to WTF.

Sebelius took the moment to encourage all Americans to begin the long and arduous task of repairing the damage of the Bush/Cheney/Rove administration.

As Kansans, we should be proud of our Governor. As Americans, we should be disgusted with our president.

Zip. Nada. Nothing.

I pitty you.

You are obviously miserable.

By the way, there are, litterally, millions of people who agree with me, in this country. I am clearly in the mainstream of political thought.

Those who agree with you? Well, I am guessing they could all fit, rather well, in a small stadium.

The ironic thing is, my views would be the same, even if I were alone.

You are the one who childishly seeks affirmation from politics, not me.

Was anything even germane to Shrub’s speech? I learned long ago listening to him is a waste of time.

That paragraph just about summed up the last 7 yrs, except for the doubling of the Nat.debt.

My teachers all said I was illiterate, but I told them I could prove my parents were married–not to each other, but married!

Didn’t you know:
a bunt against W. = a grand slam

The hand offer is rejected and not seen as a hand but as a weapon. More the pity in deed! They would know no peace in their lives for to them peace is hollow and can not fill the hollowness of their being. They choose to surrender the title in favor of the lesser ones of CON AND LIB.

Analysis:
The president’s use of averages is misleading and masks who actually benefits most from his tax cuts. The Citizens for Tax Justice estimate that the middle 20 percent of Americans will receive 11 percent of the Bush tax cuts between 2001 and 2010, while the top 1 percent will receive 36 percent. That means the middle 20 percent would lose about $540 a year in tax breaks if the Bush tax cuts are not renewed. The top 1 percent would lose an average of $34,000 a year.

FactWatch: Extending the Bush Tax Cuts
From the speech:
“We have other work to do on taxes. Unless the Congress acts, most of the tax relief we have delivered over the past seven years will be taken away. Some in Washington argue that letting tax relief expire is not a tax increase. Try explaining that to 116 million American taxpayers who would see their taxes rise by an average of $1,800.”

FactWatch: The Economy
From the speech:
“As we meet tonight, our economy is undergoing a period of uncertainty. America has added jobs for a record 52 straight months, but jobs are now growing at a slower pace. Wages are up, but so are prices for food and gas. Exports are rising, but the housing market has declined. And at kitchen tables across our country, there is concern about our economic future.”

Analysis:
President Bush acknowledged the economy faces difficulties, but glossed over the seriousness of the problem. Some economists believe the U.S. is already in recession. The situation in the housing market is especially difficult. Today, the Commerce Department reported a record drop in new home sales in 2007 — they fell more than 26 percent. As a result of the bursting of the housing bubble, millions of Americans face foreclosure and could lose their homes. The troubles in the U.S. housing market have spread to the rest of the world through complicated securities that included subprime U.S. mortgages. There is fear that ultimately the global economy could fall into recession.

FactWatch: Intelligence Surveillance
From the speech:
“One of the most important tools we can give them is the ability to monitor terrorist communications. To protect America, we need to know who the terrorists are talking to, what they are saying, and what they are planning. Last year, the Congress passed legislation to help us do that. Unfortunately, the Congress set the legislation to expire on Feb. 1. This means that if you do not act by Friday, our ability to track terrorist threats would be weakened and our citizens will be in greater danger. The Congress must ensure the flow of vital intelligence is not disrupted. The Congress must pass liability protection for companies believed to have assisted in the efforts to defend America. We have had ample time for debate. The time to act is now.”

Analysis:
The Protect America Act, passed by Congress last August, expires on Feb. 1. That legislation expanded powers available to the administration under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, especially with respect to the monitoring of electronic communication (e-mails, for example) between suspected terrorists who are outside the United States but whose communications pass through switching networks in U.S. territory. Under existing legislation, the attorney general has to certify that the surveillance meets the legal conditions. Those certifications will not expire on Feb. 1. There will be no disruption of current monitoring. The wiretapping can continue regardless of what Congress does. It is true, however, that the executive branch will not be able to make new certifications and therefore open new surveillance cases.

FactWatch: Freedom Agenda
From the speech:
“Our foreign policy is based on a clear premise: We trust that people, when given the chance, will choose a future of freedom and peace. In the last seven years, we have witnessed stirring moments in the history of liberty. We have seen citizens in Georgia and Ukraine stand up for their right to free and fair elections. We have seen people in Lebanon take to the streets to demand their independence. We have seen Afghans emerge from the tyranny of the Taliban to choose a new president and a new parliament. We have seen jubilant Iraqis holding up ink-stained fingers and celebrating their freedom. And these images of liberty have inspired us.”

Analysis:
President Bush often talks about what he calls his “freedom agenda” in the Middle East, arguing the U.S. relied on a false stability in the region in the past. But the democracy agenda took a hit when Hamas, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization, won elections in the Palestinian territories two years ago and when the Muslim Brotherhood made gains in elections in Egypt before that. The president never mentions those elections, though the U.S. had been encouraging both votes to take place. The president has also toned down his criticism of key Arab allies. When he met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah and other leaders during a recent swing through the Middle East, Bush did not openly criticize anyone’s rule, but rather gently nudged for reforms and talked about the long term rather than the near term.
