<p>Omg. </p>
<p>I'm watching the State of the Union right now. </p>
<p>I love our President. I love our flag. I love America. </p>
<p>!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I love the second two; the first one, not so much.</p>
<p>im not even going to bother watching it...i'll just read about it.</p>
<p>"Congress should totally fund the troops" which is a euphemism for the war. I hate those dumbass leading statements.</p>
<p>I turned it off quickly.</p>
<p>Yep, the president is truly a great and noble man. Whether he handled the presidency and the war the right way is up to question; his noble intentions, not so much.</p>
<p>cheney looks so awkward on tv</p>
<p>^ I second that. He and Bush just always put on these dopey old grins.</p>
<p>I love how the room is COMPLETELY divided, Democrats sitting and Republicans standing and whooping like a high-school football team.</p>

<p>Uhh yea, thats usually how the SOTU speech goes.</p>
<p>Bush's SOTU was horrible. Made it crystal clear that we should expect nothing particularly good from the rest of his presidency; not that I was anyways, but you know, it would've been nice.</p>
<p>It's nice that you love Bush. Naive, but nice.</p>
<p>$300 million for Pell grants for high school?! Are you *****ing kidding me</p>
<p>This is hilarious. MetdethGNR, you are officially a minority (on yur first point)</p>
<p>I thought MetdethGNR was being sarcastic...</p>
<p>I don't agree with him. But, I have to say it was pretty hilarious when they were moving the camera around. And you saw a few senators fast asleep or zoning out. That was my favorite part. lol.</p>
<p>His speech was so uninspired and boring. It just made me sad. I think that he's pretty much given up.</p>
<p>His speech was so bogus it was ridiculous. "More money for education! Less taxes! Balanced budget!" No matter that all those goals do not jive together.</p>
<p>Do I like Bush? No.</p>
<p>I still think he's underrated. He has integrity and, like most of our worst presidents, he is a victim of bad timing (see Andrew Johnson). I actually got a little emotional seeing him walk in last night. I've been so tied up with names like Romney, McCain, and Obama, I forgot all about Bush :)</p>
<p>Saying that he has integrity does not mean that he is a good person, or a good president. Keep in mind that Hitler also had integrity... he CERTAINLY adhered to moral principles, even if they were skewed (much like Bush). And merely saying that he is a victim of bad timing does not excuse his failures. Other presidents (WW, FDR) have been just as unlucky in their timing but did not screw things up so royally.</p>
<p>Are you comparing George W. Bush's moral principles to that of a man who killed 12 million people? The president is a good man; the fact that he messed up a necessary war does not make him a "bad" person.</p>
<p>The fact that you call the war "necessary" removes all credibility from your statement.</p>
<p>No, I did not compare his moral principles to those of Hitler. I said that he followed his principles, as did Hitler. The person I replied to said that he is underrated simply because he follows his principles.</p>
