I don't watch the State of the Union very often, and I didn't watch last nights. It was a good night to catch up on some reading. But i did determine that it would be over, and turned on the TV to find the "Democratic Response". Good God, what was that?

I'm just encouraged that you guys are on here bagging him. I know that the Des have someone better to put up there than that. Hell, I think they should have just had Bush talk again and that would encourage more people to vote Democrat than this guy.

Obama would have been 10x better.

Did you see Obama trying to snub the prez? W went out of his way to shake osama's hand and he shook it looking away, kinda trying to see if the cameras were on him. :look:

No, I didn't see that one. Kinda surprising. He's smart enough to know that he's not going to 'lose points' if he's 'caught' shaking hands with the pres.

I think that putting Obama there would have been a little too over the top. It's clear he is being groomed for "greatness" in the party, but you don't want to overuse him. Didn't he give one of the responses in the past couple of years?

He made a great speech at the convention. That's maybe what you're thinking of.

It didn't have to be him though, it could have been anybody else other than that dud Kaine.

From what I have read, Kaine was chosen by Dean because they feel that he connects with folks in the South and also appeals to Republicans with his anti gay and bullish military beliefs. It is rumoured that the power brokers in the DEM party feel that they can move the party to the right and become basically the Republican-Lite party while still keeping the vote of the far left as they feel the GOP under Bush has moved too far right from the mainstream.

Kosar I swear he was looking at Hillary two of those winks.
Kaine did his job. Put folks to sleep. But I think he was sent out there to be nice guy Joe Blow. Hey theres a better way. Lets work together. We have not heard that for a while. It's there new way of see. Liberals are not so bad.
Bush didn't say much either. Because theres no money to do many projects. Kind of same o thing as last year. And you could here from tone of his voice he was not very interested in his own words.

He was winking at all the suckers that actually watch this shit. The problem with our Country is not the Dem's or the Rep's. It's the stupid people that support them and believe in them. I want my country back, I want a new party. I vote, I try to make a difference on the local level, I suggest that all of you and your friends do the same thing. Do we really want any of these people on either side that are being talked about as the next President of These United States ? I Don't.

He's right in a way. There not worried as much about us as they are them selfs. With some luck the scandal will nail about 20 of them. And they pay with a lose in 06 election.

Liked Obama when I 1st saw him at Dem convention--but has dropped considerably since being bounced in lime-light--has changed since coming into national scene and has has started pandering to the liberal left deep pockets knowing its the onlyway to the big picture.

For the record GW was winking at Rex.
