I can’t take it anymore…here comes some stream of conciousness thoughts on the President’s speech…

  • It started out alright, talking about healthcare reform and education, immigration, etc… - 9:15 pm
  • Seriously, is it even possible for Bush to make a speech and not mention 9/11? - 9:25 pm
  • Can we count the number of times he says the words “kill”, “evil”, “terror”, and “enemy”…if it was a drinking game I would be shitfaced. - 9:30 pm
  • He says the threat of terror will never be over…well, although 9/11 was a tragedy, I feel that those extremists hated America long before that event occured. It’s not something new. - 9:37 pm
  • I thought this was the state of our union, our country…not an update on the war. I thought that was what he was supposed to do two weeks ago in a special address. Oh wait, he didn’t say anything new. - 9:40 pm
  • Nancy Pelosi looks annoyed at him. In fact most of the audience looks irritated. - 9:44 pm
  • I find it odd he’s wearing a blue suit. I feel like it should be black. - 9:47 pm
  • Haven’t we already failed Iraq? And ourselves? - 9:48 pm
  • More key words - “chaos”, “harm America”, “tragedy”, oh and again 9/11 - sparing the American people from the danger. - 9:49 pm
  • Alright, I would have liked to hear more about balanced budgets, education, healthcare, immigration, poverty, etc… etc… but it seems we’re wrapping up with 10% devoted to that and the rest to the war on terror. - 9:50 pm
  • War on terror is a generational struggle…ummm…what about the generations before us? Is this the legacy we want to leave our children? Increasing our military and willingness to kill others in the name of defeating terror? - 9:51 pm
  • Do you think Bush knows that Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, and Israel are all different issues and situations? Or are they all just the axis of evil? - 9:53 pm
  • OK, the HIV/AIDS in Africa part was good… - 9:55 pm
  • Where is your kindness, courage and self-sacrifice, Mr. President? It seems to me all you want to do is kill people in the name of fighting terrorists. - 9:57 pm
  • Haha, he called him “son of the Congo”…and DAMN he’s tall! - 9:58 pm
  • 200 million for Baby Einstein. I can’t decide if that’s a nice story or a bit frightening. - 9:59 pm
  • OK these are nice hero stories. - 10:01 pm

Same old shit, different day of the week. Bush is a lone cowboy who doesn’t care what the nation, or the world says. He doesn’t listen to the UN, our allies, or even our military. I’m not saying that a new administration is going to completely change things in Iraq and fix the country, I’m not saying that there aren’t real threats out there, and I’m certainly not saying that we should forget about 9/11 and all the people that have died in Iraq after that…but damn I’m counting down the days until 2008.
