State of The Union

First item of the State of the Union is that Lynn Woosley Congresswoman from San Francisco, gave Cindy Sheehan a gallery pass and she "was" attending the event. Fox just reported that she attempted to disrupt the proceedings before they even got going and was removed......................Certainly not a surprise and more to come on the events surrounding the Moonbats ejection....................

Has Sheila Jackson-Brown D-Texas, ever missed an opportunity to get her picture taken beside the President? She is front row leaning over so hard that she almost falls over to get a picture with Bush.................

President Bush:

We love our freedom and we will fight to keep it...............

We will never surrender to evil..........................

Iraq: only one option, stand behind our military in this vital mission................................

Iran: can not be allowed to gain nuclear weapons............................

Patriot Act: Call for it to be passed. Republicans stand and applaud - Dems stay seated ( remember they killed the Patriot Act ); Clarifies NAS; We will not sit back and wait to be hit again........Republicans stand in support and applaud, Dems sit and look queasy, because as Reid said, the Dems Killed the Patriot Act (Hillary Clinton scoffs).................Asks for bi-partisan support to protect our country and support our troops.........Some Dems stand on that one and applaud, but Lacy Clay of STL did not join them........

Tax Cuts: Make them permanent......................

Social Security Reform: tick......tick.....tick........Congress did not act and things to getting worse...............bipartisan politics should be set aside and the problem fixed........

Energy: apply technology to reduce our reliance on middle east oil a thing of the past........................

Education: Math & Science - double the financial commitment - Competitive Initiative announced........

Supreme Court: acknowledges new judges (Roberts & Alito); will continue appointing judges who do not legislate from the bench.............

Dem Response

Virginia Governor D - Tim Kaine: Dems working to eliminate partisan politics????? Is this guy serious???? Tim, did you tune in for the Alito hearing? Have you been watching your fellow Dems since Bush was elected in 2000??? Dems offering a better way for ending partisan politics, man that's rich...........................

Wrap

I think it was a good speech and think it did have a bit of an olive branch theme to it.................It will probably not be hot enough for those on the "hard" right, and will obviously be too hot for those on the "hard" left. I think it will probably play well for those in the middle and I think that was the intent, and that is what will make it a very effective State of the Union......................

Sheehan Update per Reuters:

Police at the U.S. Capitol arrested anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Tuesday, shortly before President Bush was to give his annual State of the Union speech, a police spokeswoman said.........CNN said Sheehan was arrested after unveiling a banner and was being held on Capitol Hill for about an hour, which would keep her away from the address, which was set to start at 9 p.m. EST.


Moonbats doing what moonbats do....................
