President Bush has given better State of the Union addresses, but he addressed a lot of issues. I was suprised over the Pell Grants for the Catholic schools in the inner cities, but feel it is a good move. However, the Democratics will not let that happen. Earmarks -- that was about damage control since the Republicans suffered heavily last year over "the bridge to nowhere," which was a Republican earmark.

As a sidenote, Teddy Kennedy and the Democratic Senator from Michigan slept through quite a bit of the address.

Obama and Hillary sat about a foot apart from each other and neither acknowledged the other! That was childish.

For some strange reason ,I always felt that Bush is sincere and actually believes in what he is doing,even though I do not agree with his ideas on the wars, and I think he like a little dictator. I figure he is sincere , but still wrong when he breaks lots of laws, affecting our rights ,and he seems to love the war so much.

"The strength -- the secret of our strength, the miracle of America, is that our greatness lies not in our government, but in the spirit and determination of our people. When the Federal Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, our nation was bound by the Articles of Confederation, which began with the words, "We the undersigned delegates." When Gouverneur Morris was asked to draft a preamble to our new Constitution, he offered an important revision and opened with words that changed the course of our nation and the history of the world: "We the people."

By trusting the people, our Founders wagered that a great and noble nation could be built on the liberty that resides in the hearts of all men and women. By trusting the people, succeeding generations transformed our fragile young democracy into the most powerful nation on Earth and a beacon of hope for millions. And so long as we continue to trust the people, our nation will prosper, our liberty will be secure, and the state of our Union will remain strong.

So tonight, with confidence in freedom's power, and trust in the people, let us set forth to do their business. God bless America."


Amazing ending points! The last sentence, before God bless America, is awesome, what a great ending.

Thought the entire speech was good, precise language that anyone watching could understanding. Loved the challenge to the ridiculous earmarks and his stance that should they come his way, he'd turn the bill down until it was revised, without such earmarks.

Lame duck I think not, 2007 he had amazing successes in showing that and I believe this year will be the same.

smo ......

what are "the lots of laws" that Bush has broken?

What "rights" has he taken from you?


P.S. I edited this because I am curious .... why did you post the same idea not once or twice, but FIVE different times?
