<p>Well, the state of the union adress just ended and me thinks it be time to discuss...</p>
<p>I'll give my input later, but Iwas most surprised that he didn't directly adress Hamas in Iran...</p>
<p>What did you people think about things overall, specifically... w/e.</p>

<p>I'm not. I mean, the administration, and most out there, view this as a bad thing. Why put it in the speech?</p>
<p>Well, it was in the speech, indirectly. He talked about it, but didn't offer any plan that adressed it. </p>
<p>Yes, they say it is a bad thing, but what is going to be our position? I think that fits quite well into the state of the union...</p>
<p>I know he talked about a boost in energy resource research and usage in place of foreign oil... Do you think that his methods will procure any results? Or will it be a huge failure?</p>
<p>I like how he mentioned that we are addicted to oil but didn't bring out ANWR and instead pushed for technology to bring ethanol and that idiotic dream called hydrogen.</p>
<p>darn it, i missed it. but yes, i did hear that he has that new catch phrase about oil. i'm just interested in seeing his alternative to being dependant on foreign oils, that doesn't include drilling in any wildlife preserve. we all remember the prince valdez of 89</p>
<p>It's on repeat at 3:00 AM. Sadly, I am staying up to watch it :)</p>
<p>Drill ANWR please.</p>
<p>phhh oil! where my flying electric car Scholastic News promised me!?</p>
<p>ANWR is a joke. Little reason to drill there.</p>
<p>Did you notice the VA Governor's eyebrows? Crazy stuff</p>
<p>There was one part about social sercurity and Hilary was laughing pretty hard and rolling her eyes like crazy.</p>
<p>The VA Governor reminded me of a late-night furniture salesman... especially w/ the residence in the background.</p>
<p>I don't think he's gonna be particularly electable in '08. Sorry timmy kaine</p>
<p>That's because Bush said something along the lines of him and Clinton being big Bush's favorites.</p>
<p>poison.ivy, you are so right. Even though most of the people in the room watching leaned left, we all were all laughing at Tim Keane. Monotone, slow speaking, and a background that screamed elitism didn't help, but the eyebrow was too much.</p>

Hamas in Iran
[/quote]
Hamas is Palestine, which he did address. He also mentioned Iran's regime.</p>
<p>HAHA sorry about that, you are right, of course, goldduck. </p>
<p>I get to watch this tomorrow in my govt. class with my uber conservative teacher. It'll be fun I hope.</p>
<p>I thought that Hillary's facial expressions were the best part of the whole thing... and the eyebrow was scary.</p>
<p>On another note...WHY do they ALWAYS have to end with God bless... or thank God... or GOD GOD GOD!.... it's annoying. I know it gains favor among the religious, but it makes me feel as though they rely on religion too much and not common sense...</p>

<p>Haha **<em>... do you have awareness of ANY politics whatsoever? I'll give my input later, but Iwas most surprised that he didn't directly adress Taliban in NORWAY... haha *dies</em></p>
<p>Right after Bush sort of condemned the members of congress for not heeding his advice, I realized that there was a lot of clapping by the congressmen/women. It seemed to me that the members were applauding for themeselves for having chosen their path. Bush seemed to have caught on and gave an acknowledging smile/laugh along so to speak (playing politics) My parents taped it, so we will watch it tonight again.</p>
<p>Paraiso, I do have an awareness of politics, but I mostly concentrate on what's affecting me right now and what my general interests are in (mostly ID of late). I won't say that I know much about the middle east. I've been kept in the dark about most of it except the "Those damn dirty A-Rabs" here in Kansas. However, I DID mean to type Hamas AND Iran. I know he did talk about them, but I had hoped he would give a basic idea on the plan for US interest and interactions.</p>
<p>anyone still crack up over how Bush pronounces "nucuuulear"?</p>

<p>Ok! Then n/m :)</p>
<p>ps. Iranians aren't arabs, at least they like to say so when they bash the arab part of themselves. It's a paradox.</p>
