State Of The Union Analysis - Lazy Style

So, did you watch the big speech? Huh? I did.

Sort of. I went to sleep. But while sleeping, I heard some of it. We need to keep supporting the troops - by keeping them there. And sending more. And sending them back for a second or third tour. What the hell, lets just tell them that they have to stay there till one of three things happen.

1. Peace happens, and Baghdad Disney is built.
2. They are killed in action.
3. They are injured so bad that they are no longer useful to the military.

Yea, that is supporting them. How does this guy sleep at night? It is just insane. The United States has never had a military coup - but maybe it is time to have one? One more surge and everything will be OK. Bush would have made an excellent used car salesman. One more brake pad and the car WILL stop! I know I said that about the last three or four brake pads and you still crashed - but this pad is special! It is made from magical materials!

I also understand (thanks to the talking heads on the news channels) Bush talked about the need for a better energy policy - one that can cut our oil consumption by 20% in the next 10 years. I guess he means 20% by TODAY'S numbers, not the numbers projected for 10 years from now? Who knows. And then there was the talk about doing something for people without health insurance. Other than just letting them get sick and die that is.

What the hell is that? Here is a goon who had a congress that never said no to him one single time in 6 years - and what has he done? What has he done for people without insurance? What has he done for an energy policy? What steps has he taken to reduce oil consumption? About the only thing he has done is to invade Iraq. He forgot all about Afghanistan. Things there are starting to fall apart. Taliban elements are back. And gaining strength. But we are so tied down in Iraq that there is nothing we can do in Afghanistan.

So excuse me Mr. President if I call bullshit on your little speech. I do not believe for one second that you meant a damn thing you said. You had 6 full years to do something, besides make things worse. And you only made things worse. You have done diddly squat in your time in office, and you had a House and Senate that never said no to anything! You had a one party state. You COULD HAVE done stuff - but you did not. The speech you gave was just more meaningless hot air coming from your noise hole.

Suddenly NOW you seem to want to work with the Democrats. At least that is how the speech sounded. Now why is that? Why now, and not in 2000? or 2001? Or 2002? What could it be that has changed things? Could it be that YOU KILLED YOUR OWN PARTY with your dumb assery? Could it be that even Republicans who were your biggest cheerleaders do not come over to play in your sandbox anymore? You ran in 2000 as someone who could work with people. Someone who could work with both parties. And you have gone at everything alone. With you or against you.

Well, most of the USA is against you. Your approval ratings are at Nixon levels. The United States reputation in the world is also at all time lows. It seems more people are against you than with you. That, Mr. President, shall be your legacy.
