The State of the Union

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Its a Washington politician show at its best. The American public gets to see the system at work, with all its animosities and bullshit posturing.

I wish we get a president someday to say this is our situation and if you don't like it, get off your ass and come up with something better.

What does this even mean?  Could you give an example?

While youre first sentence says otherwise, it seems youre infatuated with tough-guy posturing yourself.

Same shit, different day.?

I think I saw Cheney blink once...just one time! I think hes a robot hahah.

I thought he went on too long about the country and not enough about Iraq.? That is the hot button right now.? I love how he talks about terrorists in Iraq and Shia death squads....THEY WEREN'T THERE until AFTER we attacked!!!

I think he mentioned Iran 3x before he said "iraq".

Anyways, thoughts on the speech??

p.s.? Jim Webb for VP ? awesome rebuttal.? his stories about his family were MUCH more moving and powerful then Bush's basketball player, creator of annoying baby videos and the subway superman (who seemed very biased toward the repubs hehehe).

LMAO are you saying there were no Iraq and Shia death squads until AFTER we attacked?? I hope you are joking...i would check out another news source besides The New York Times and CNN.....

Did anyone see Colbert's "blink count" between Cheney and Pelosi?  Classic.  In one span she blinked 42 times or something and Cheney only once or twice.  hysterical.

HES NOT HUMAN!

haha or maybe SHE is not human...she blinked NON STOP!!!! thats what all that plastic surgery will do to you...

Do you have any evidence suggesting this?

thats normal - esp during a bush speech - i think she was trying to stay awake.

i couldn't NOT blink for as long as Cheney did if I tried.  Seriously, try to not blink for a full 60 seconds......

[Drew]

What replay footage I saw of it made me horrified. Cheney looked like he was about to fall asleep and how many fuckin' times did Pelosi fuckin' blink?!!! For fucks sake, what was she doing, sending morese code?

John McCain wasnt.  He was probably dreaming of giving the speech himself.

i have a valid question.

for those of you who are really in the know as far as american politics go (i'm not american myself), i have two questions actually. is it likely at all that bush can be impeached (i doubt his friends in the supreme court would convict him of anything), and also, is it at all possible that bush has to leave the oval office? if his approval ratings dropped even further as a result of what will probably be another failed iraq plan, is it possible that his resignation is demanded? what it boils down to is this; is it more than likely that bush will stay in office for the whole remaining period? the huge stir it would cause to remove a president from office (which has only happened once before), is it worth it for america or are people more likely to say "let him stay in office the remainder of the period and rather focus on how to fix for the future the damages he has caused"? how hard will it be to get bush impeached or removed from office? when nixon was impeached and removed it involved crimes, and even though you can call bush a war criminal, the decision to go into iraq, however wrong it was, was legally voted for and passed in congress.

He'll certainly serve out his remaining term.

The incoming dems have made a LOT of noise over the fact they do not want to do to Bush what the Repubs did to Clinton...spend millions of taxpayer dollars and use a huge chunk of federal resources in order to investigate him, and his administration, with an eye toward impeachment, etc.? ?I think they'll be true to their word.? So unless someone inadvertently uncovers something we don't know about yet...we'll be dealing with GW for the next couple of years.

And no matter how bad his approval ratings get, no one is going to call for him to resign (or, not anyone serious, and not enough to be taken seriously).

Just adding to this a little bit.

I think the main reason NOT to impeach Bush is the fact that there could only be one fate worse than him running the country right now.

Cheney!!!!

Cheney!!!!

It doesn't matter who's president as he's not the one running things anyway.

[2007what!]

this question is for booker floyd as he seems to be a living encyclopedia when it comes to american politics, but of course anyone else are free to answer it too. do you agree that it is very unlikely that bush will be removed from office before january 2009?

[Bodhi]

haha or maybe SHE is not human...she blinked NON STOP!!!! thats what all that plastic surgery will do to you...

Do you have any evidence suggesting this?

LMAO are you serious?? its common knowledge she has had a TON of work done...just look at her pics over the past 10-15 years....haha thats like asking me if i have any evidence that Michael Jackson had work done.....

Yes, it is very unlikely.

So the answer is no. 

While youre not backing up your claims, perhaps you can touch on this.

Look, even King George does some investigative journalism before making an accusation that she's had "work" done.

I think what he is trying to say is that maybe Bush should CHALLENGE congress to come up with a better solution on how to WIN over there....this way they would have to stop finger pointing and come up with an idea...but the truth of the matter is this...we either stay over there and fight until Iraq can then take care of themselves...or we come home now....The cut and run solution is still not poplular enough in this country yet for it to actually happen.but its getting there.....It is easy for democrats to say "bushs plan wont work" but its alot harder to say "this plan I came up with Will work"  Booker, what was your view on Iraq as far as how to handle it? not sure if you answered this in other posts...dont feel like going though them all...are you in favor of withdrawing immediately?

Can you define "win" for me?  I mean...really define what you think "winning" means?  Total destruction of the terrorist over there?  Successful democracy in Iraq?  What are the conditions for "winning"?

Once you do that...you'll have done more than this president has done......

Thanks.

For me "winning" would be killing as many terrorists/insurgents as humanly possible...and having Iraq able to take care of themselves as a successufl democracy...a successful democracy in the middle east would be a major blow to Al Qaeda..it is obvious because they are trying so hard to stop that from happening...that to me would be "winning" whether or not we are on the right course to get there is another story....
