One huge word for tonight starting at 9:00pm eastern standard time. Powerful! Why? Our president, likely to be the last decent one for awhile, was right on! The people he pointed out were amazing! Mutumbo, hey not just the hospital. This guy is a true lover of his people. he still has a home over there. And from the things I have read spends more time in the off season over there than here. Judy Clark, I skipped the middle name because I can't spell it, you may think what is so great about the baby einstein lady. Yeah she wanted to help her kid read. No she is the glue that runs our economy. The type of go getter people who come up with an idea and follow it through. They see a need maybe in only one person but then when it succeeds they realize it can help change lives all over this world. And as a person who could not read very well at all coming into my college years I am excited for her advancements! Wesely Autrey, hey its true people like that are all over this great nation! God has blessed us with hometown heroes who are everyday people and are willing to die for another. And Tommy the war hero. Man that guy I guarantee is tough! You remember "saving private ryan" and the guy who had not the courage to kill when he was needed but hid and coward as his friend was killed. this guy was the opposite! He made himself a human shield! Anyone with a purple heart should get a military burial and should get a parade at home. My Dad came home to crazy people spitting after vietnam. I want him to know if I could have been alive then I would have stood right beside him! He didn't want to be there but he did his duty! This man deserved every moment of that applause! To the meat of the speech. The first woman speaker. I don't care democrat or not she was faced with a situation where she could have sat on her hands and pretended her enemy George Bush was not even speaking. She handled herself with grace and elegance. She was deserving of the presidents remarks at the beginning. Hey lets face it a lot of people hate her for being up there. Why is President Bush so great? He is one hundred percent hard guy. Real man material! Stumbles over a word and keeps ticking! Our countries unemployment rate is on the up swing! Man we never hear that until the numbers come out. He was all for bipartisanship tonight and that is exciting because as a republican I will admit sometimes the bleeding heart Liberals have some good ideas. Balance the Budget... I'm waiting to completely believe that! He has the right idea but with this new house and senate I am just not so sure it can be done. Hey it was killing Hillary though! Cutting out the earmarks will probably change this nation completley! That would be great lets find out what laws are really laws and what is just superstitious bunk! Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. We won't fix them until we clamp down and stop letting free loaders mooch off our taxes but George is definitely the one to get it done! Public schools- No Child Left Behind is a great idea. But bipartisan has to become true completely in this case. My wife saw this in Philly. That Democrat ran school district twisted the idea of no child left behind to mean no child can flunk. Out of 32 children in her 7th grade class something like 20 of them were classified as having a learning disability. She told me most of them were smarter than her they just did not apply themselves. Bunk they can't flunk they are learning diabled. Hey I'm learning disabled but I got no special treatment, except a tutor. I flunked a few times and that was good for me! No child left behind is not a free ride its the idea that we actually try to help those who need and want the help. I say Build the wall of China all over again down south but thats just me. Nuff said! Foreign Oil. Well I say we all start running and biking to work. Live near where you work. Want to cut out the poverty in this country. Build on the great ideals of Firestone, Goodyear and FOrd. Help your employees. Don't get the best buck for your bang. Treat them well and they will work hard for you. Employer provided housing built by the employer to take the burdens off his people. This helps to eliminate ghettos and provides a home a roof and an environment of social equality and respect. But what do I know maybe ethanol is the way of the future. I just miss the ideals of good people that my father and grandfather knew. Help thy neighbor and when it comes around he'll help you. Winning the War on Terror. Not even a good idea. We will never get rid of all of them! But we can scare the crap out of them. These people are straight out of Satan's minions. Their not going away. But we can decrease their numbers. And nothing will do that better than the United States Of America showing them why our military is still the best in the world and we are The super power. Any country with our size and power should look like rome to our opponents. ie. a US citizen should be able to walk down the shadiest street in Bagdad and they should be so afraid of the retribution of the US that they would not even dare to look at him crossly. Finally: "THE STATE OF THE UNION IS STRONG, THE CAUSE IS RIGHT." - George W. Bush Jr. 61- applause, 50- minutes |
