Me Talk Pretty Some Day - George W. Bush's State of the Union Address
Its just going to be painful tonight.
Unlike any president in my lifetime, its physically painful to listen to Bush speak. Its not just the content. He has good writers, its just the delivery, facial expressions and overall delivery cause me to writhe in my seat. Actually, I usually get up and pace the floor.
I'm also still upset about this "political capital" he thinks he has. When you win by the smallest percentage victory in history, its not a mandate. Not by a long shot.
I suspect we will hear a lot about the successful elections in Iraq. I was surprised at the turnout and the lack of violence during the election, and I think the military should be commended.
Every Child Left Behind - when we have people bringing up "Intelligent Design" as science, something is wrong. ID was not a consideration before Bush was in office.
Halliburton - single source construction in Iraq. There are dozens of US engineering companies that can do this work, no one has explained what the cost/benefit of single sourcing it to Halliburton. The press is not challenging it and the White House (is Chaney still alive, I haven't heard from him or his doctors in a while) smothers any
White House Press Corp - what's with the Republican shill with Press credentials, not tied to any legit press, who tosses out softball questions and unsubstantiated (or downright wrong) information during the few press conferences at the White House. Also, Bush has had fewer press conferences than any modern president. I think this ties into the "Me Talk Pretty Some Day". Since he is so bad at public speaking, I think its a public service to minimize the number of speeches he subjects the population to.
