state of the union

I watched it for 10 seconds, and changed the channel.

[Nochowderforyou]

No, I didn't watch it, but, it DID interupt the time when That 70's Show comes on. I was actually going to watch it, but, what's that I see on TV: It's equivelant to a primate babbling on TV, banging on their chest.

[slipknotpsycho]

lol don't you just love how they have to interupt as many channels as possible with that crap?

Haha, there HAVE been Presidents worse than Bush, believe it or not.

So, it COULD be worse. ~

[suhl]

bush very well may be the worst president ever. really that is a matter of opinion. i watched the address, and i actually have to say i was impressed, bush had some good ideas and even more impressive he spoke in public and didnt make a fool of himself. now to see if he follows through on any of what he said

[Purple Banana]

Keep in mind, it's Bush's SPEECHWRITERS writing his speech. Any ideas, with the exception of stuff like "Change the word 'because' to 'due to'- makes me sound more smarter" is the speechwriters words pushing the "ideas" of Bush in a more euphonic (albiet less humorous) way.

I'd really like Obama to be pres... although he's a Dem, and oddly enough conservative, he seems like he's smack in the middle of things and has a very level head on his shoulders.

It'd be kind of abstract, because all of our past presidents names were like "John Smith" and "William Adams" and plain stuff like that. Than BAM! Out of the blue comes "Barack Obama." I like it!

I don't want him to win because he's black, don't want Hilary to win because she's a woman, but I want either to win because it will be a MUCH better change for our nation, and although each has his/her issues, they both have a good political team behind them.

Prooove it.

For starters, President James Buchanan had a chance to make a decision that would have ulitimately stopped the Civil War from ever happening, and did nothing.

That's BAD, personally. ~

Just comparing wartime Presidents...

[suhl]

i dont know what you mean about obama being oddly conservative, he is more liberal than the average democrat

[Oneironaut]

I watched part of it, and got sick of it. He (or at least his team of speechwriters) seems to think the world is full of terrorists who are, for some inconceivable reason, insanely jealous of freedom and therefore want to kill anybody who has any. He completely ignores the real religious and political reasons behind radical Islamic terrorism and consequently cannot come up with any better solution than to drop bombs on a whole bunch of people and then hope that some of them are terrorists and that the massacre somehow won't just spawn a new generation of super-pissed-off terrorists. I simply can't listen to that kind of inane bullcrap, so I had to turn it off.
