STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS: He says/She Says

In a system of two parties, two chambers, and two elected branches,
there will always be differences and debate.  But even tough debates can be
conducted in a civil tone, and our differences cannot be allowed to
harden into anger.

———-

Of course the perpetrator of numerous offenses wants us to NOT be angry! He’s the one trampling on civil rights, privacy, abortion rights, workers’ rights, social security, health care… If the tables were turned, would HE be able to have a smile and say, "yeah, keep ramming me, that’s great!" and NOT be angry. Puh-leeze.

———————–

To confront the great issues before us, we must act in a
spirit of good will and respect for one another – and I will do my
part.

Yeah, "you’ll do your part." Why does the devil ask us have respect when he’s shown no respect for anyone?

————–
Tonight the state of our Union is strong – and together we will make it
stronger.

Absolute bull shit. Even his own peeps know this isn’t true.
——-
In this decisive year, you and I will make choices that determine both
the future and the character of our country.

Substitute "determine" for "undermine."

On September 11th, 2001, we found that problems originating in a failed
and oppressive state seven thousand miles away could bring murder and
destruction to our country. 

On September 11th, 2001, we found that for 7 solid minutes, you couldn’t react without the help of your political handlers. Also, what happened to your Presidential Daily Brief delivered to you (while you were taking the longest vacation in history) that could have told you the same thing?  you know, the one that was entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US" that you got in August of 2001?

——-

Dictatorships shelter terrorists, feed resentment and radicalism, and seek weapons of mass destruction.  Democracies replace resentment with hope, respect the rights of their citizens and their neighbors, and join the fight against terror.  Every step toward freedom in the world makes our country safer, and so we  will act boldly in freedom’s cause.

Actions speak louder than words. Your family is in bed with the Saudi Arabian royal family and Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of many Al Qaeda, including Bin ladin. Why no war against the Saudis?

—————–
….They seek  to impose a heartless system of totalitarian control
throughout the Middle East, and arm themselves with weapons of mass murder.  Their aim is to seize power in Iraq, and use it as a safe haven to launch
attacks against America and the world. 

tsk. tsk. Iraq became a hot-bead of terrorist action because we bombed the fuck out of it without reason. We bombed the fuck out of Afghanistan without seeing it’s restructuring and rebuilding through to completion and out of our unjustified wars, are fueling the terrorism that we claim to be eliminating. 

——–

Lacking the military strength to challenge us directly, the terrorists have chosen the weapon of fear…

Didn’t your party use the weapon of fear to turn out your vote against the fear of gay’s marrying? 

…and we are on the offensive in Iraq, with a clear plan for victory.

I would love to hear this *clear* plan for victory… 

First, we are helping Iraqis build an inclusive government, so that old
resentments will be eased, and the insurgency marginalized.  Second, we
are continuing reconstruction efforts, and helping the Iraqi government
to fight corruption and build a modern economy, so all Iraqis can
experience the benefits of freedom.  Third, we are striking terrorist targets
while we train Iraqi forces that are increasingly capable of defeating the
enemy. 

Our work in Iraq is difficult, because our enemy is brutal… At
the same time, our coalition has been relentless…

You and what army? Those 5 soldiers from micronesia, sure are tough!

The road of victory is the road that will take our troops home.  As we
make progress on the ground, and Iraqi forces increasingly take the
lead, we should be able to further decrease our troop levels – but those
decisions will be made by our military commanders, not by politicians
in Washington, D.C.

Aren’t YOU a politician in DC making decisions contrary to expert military leadership? Weren’t you given warning that there wasn’t enough troops to wage a war in Iraq?

Alright… listening to him speak on tv is making me need to take a major dump… gotta jet.
