Got to say - I am not terribly excited about the SofU address. Maybe it was so many campaign speeches that I heard throughout 2004. Nonetheless, it's the only thing on, so I will share my comments along the way.
Very good - we are not imposing Americanism on anyone. We are simply seeking a global community of free peoples. "The advance of freedom will lead to peace."
Iraq is a vital front in the War on Terror. Fighting the terrorists in Iraq so that we do not have to face them here at home. Reason #1 why I voted for Bush.

Loved the beginning ... US, Afghanistan, Palestine, Ukraine, Iraq.
The speech will seek to answer the question, what will be the state of our children's union.
Democrats look petty when they don't applaud economic advancements.
Budget plan sounds good: restrained spending, permanent tax cuts, cuts deficit in half by 2009. Very good.
"Tax payers' dollars need to be spent wisely or not at all." Great line.
I like the fact that the education issue is part of the overall economic strategy.
Very good that they are calling it "legal reform" not "tort reform." Can make the case better to the American people that way.
Pass the energy reform bill!!!!
Tax code reform ... the flat tax ... the time has come ... Steve Forbes in 08.
Immigration ... this is a huge issue on the horizon ... but how, Mr. President, how are we going to have both opened and closed borders?
Social Security ... here we go.
To people 55 and older: "Do not let anyone mislead you. For you, the Social Security system will not change in anyway."
One of the things I love of President Bush is that he is not scared to tackle problems before they happen.i
Citing Democrats to prove his point. Nice.
Voluntary personal retirement accounts. A brilliant idea.
"Government is not the source of these values."
Activist Judges ... take it to 'em, Mr. President. "Every judicial nominee deserves an up or down vote."
Going after gangs ... very nice. You can tell he truly believes it.
Freedom from Fear ... going to end on his strength.
"We will stay on the offensive against them until the fight is won."
Defeating the conditions, not just the enemies. Brilliant.
Very good - we are not imposing Americanism on anyone. We are simply seeking a global community of free peoples. "The advance of freedom will lead to peace."
Not since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Evil Empire has freedom spread so quickly.
"Secretary of State Rice" I like the sound of that.
It is nice to see the President concern himself again with Israel and Palestine. It is easier now that Arafat is gone.
Calling out Egypt. nice.
Iraq is a vital front in the War on Terror. Fighting the terrorists in Iraq so that we do not have to face them here at home. Reason #1 why I voted for Bush.
The Iraqi woman ... Safi ... moving.
"The whole world knows that a small group of extremists will not overturn the will of the Iraqi people."
Janet and William Norwood ... moving.
