I can't stand to listen to his accent for more than 10min. I tried, really. But the accent just killed me! It was *almost* the same way with clinton, but Bush's just bothers me that much more.

Of course they then followed with some democrats who said the democrats aren't going to let him get anything done (even though most are on the democratic agenda). Republicans have some serious problems, but democrats don't even hide the fact they'll sell out the country just so Bush can't claim any victories.
Bush was right on FINALLY regarding immigration reform. About freaking time.

I think that is important to watch only to hear what the opposing side is advocating.
Still, I agree that these speeches are always canned and full of crap. Virtually nothing comes of the "proposals" offered to we the people.

Seriously though....Clinton isn't much of a liberal. Clinon and Bush are both centrists and corporatists...The difference is that Bush surrounded himself with poppy's people...who all had a hard on for Iraq before Bush ever got elected.

Saw that too. She'll have a tough time saying that they were trying to silence her message. They removed a republican senators wife for wearing a t shirt in support of our troops in Iraq. Although some may argue both shirts were in support of our troops.

Sheehan refused to leave and refused to take it off, that is why she was arrested. Sheehan went in there knowing she would be arrested, the whole thing was planned to draw attention to her.

Yeah sucks for her. The only difference between the two women was that one was trying to stir up **** and the other was just there supporting her president. Go figure. Of course the senator that gave Sheehan the ticket to attend was a Dem from CA. I find it hard to feel sorry for her getting arrested. It looks to me like she engineered the whole affair for attention to her cause and negative publicity for the Pres. More fodder for her blog I guess.

What sucks is that her attention mongering led to more discussions about her and less about the State of the Union. We have serious issues facing our country: unjustifiable wars, poorly funded education, illegal wiretaps, further disregard for ethical integrity in DC, etc...
