why was it funny?


i watched it, and it seemed extremely polished...whoever wrote it did a good job. what i'm trying to say is that it seemed very used carsalesmanish like bush was trying to make us forget about the last six years.

I watched. I'm not a fan of Bush, but it was a decent address. The first third of it was kinda all "I'm a Republican, and I'm gonna do Republican things." But he had some nice environmental initiatives (based upon reducing our dependence on oil), good notions on continued medical support to Africa, and no mention of the "War on Drugs." *chuckle*

I also watched his recent speech on the new plan for Iraq. I personally wish we'd never gone over there, and wish for our troops to return home as soon as possible, but I think this new plan is a sound one. I think it would be ill-advised for us to bail out now, and I think that passing more responsibilities on to the Iraqi government, military, and people is something we should have done a long time ago, but better late than never.

I wish I'd been stoned when I watched it... *grin*

i dont know, now that i look back i cant remember what was so funny about it but he talked way too much about terrorism and then it got boring

I was definitely tokin a bowl during the sotu and all the while aghast as the entire senate and congress stood up and uproariously applauded every 2 fuckin minutes at dubbya's broken promises... they actually think he's gonna follow through? so that got me thinking (as pot so often does) if the fat suits really agreed with dubbya or if there's an unspoken (or spoken) rule to agree with everything the president says to portray unity and compliance which is intended to sway the American audience watching. pretty fucked up if you ask me. i will, however, say that the prevented terrorist attacks he mentioned (if these weren't exagerrated) were pretty affective on the issue of the war against terror (which shouldn't be confused with Iraq) b/c i for one can't imagine how awful it would be for a plane to explode over the atlantic or another anthrax attack.


:rastasmoke:Obama '08!!!!

i already made a post on this that expresses my feelings on the whole thing... i'm sick of 'em... i don't care to hear them anymore... i think bush is now just trying to not go down as the worst president in history... after 6 years... and over a year with oil/gasoline problems/prices he's just now (when he's for sure getting kicked out) going to try and take control of the whole thing? c'mon now....

on a side note, not to sound racists or sexists... whoever the 'white guy' that's going to be running against obama (i guess is his name by the above post lol) and hilary... is nearly garunteed presidency... i will actually be shocked if a woman or a black man wins presidency... like i said, nothing sexist or racists meant by it... by you have to consider what the 'majority' of voters feel... and personally, i don't feel they're going to vote for anything new... hell, white men have been screwing up this country since it began, what makes you think the voters are going to change anything when the white men are doing so good? :jointsmile:

Whos - The channel I watched (NBC) kept most of the camera angles on the Republican side of the house, where the applauders sat.

But everybody clapped for the female Speaker, for the troops, and for the "American Heros" in the gallery.

And yeah, SotU promises are fickle. Only about 2.5 out of last year's 7 have been attempted. *chuckle*

[Oh F Yeah]

Change baby! That's what will bring Hillary in as our next Pres. (with Obama as V.P.?) The thing is...the fat cat "White Men" have NOT been doing good. It's time for change and as more and more Boomers replace the old guard that is slowly dying out, more change will happen. Too many minds have been (and continue to be) expanded to continue to buy into the boloney. The winds of change are shifting.

Clinton '08.......take it to the bank.

Bush is full of poop and whenever he talks, he talks about poo.

[napolitana869]

I watched it while stoned. The whole time it seemed like he was talking in a very grand way (if that makes any sense). It really felt like he was trying really hard to sell something
