State of the Union address

[paul_valaru]

They should put instructions on feather dusters.......I've had one for years and I still can't find the button to turn the damn thing on

if someone uses it right it can turn you on

Just in case you want to play Uncs game as "The Home Version" here it is.

 

[Professur]

So, is it over? What kind of state is your union in?

 

[Gonz]

the American people are showing that the state of our union is confident and strong.

 

[unclehobart]

Judging by my stock portfolio, things are looking up.

 

[MrBishop]

Read for yourself...it even includes the part where you're supposed to be applauding

I enjoyed the speech. I'm not sure what was more fun - listening and feeling that good ol' American red-blooded pride run through me everytime Dubya twinkled his eyes and said we're strong, or poking fun at the audience.

His speechgiving skills have definately improved. I commented to my husband that he must have practiced this one in front of a mirror - those smug looks and smirks were priceless!

Anyway, I thought it was very good. There's parts I don't necessarily agree with, and a few instances where I would have changed the wording a bit. But overall ... good.

I'd really be surprised if he doesn't get the next four years ...

I thought it sounded a little too much like a campaign speech for me, but his public speaking ability has improved, and every president I've ever watched has given a campaign speach for the state of the union in the last year of his first term. He likely will be reelected in the absence of any "smoking gun" evidence of wrongdoing. I doubt there is anyone here who doesn't understand my position on that.

 

[Squiggy]

I passed on the whole deal. Kinda obvious it would be a campaign speech...

on the best of years, the SOTU is laughable....More a party production than what its meant to be.

Rose, did you often find yourself overly emotional at highschool pep rallies?

Would you believe I was a cheerleader for six years?

 

[tonksy]

i used to smoke cigarettes under the bleachers during pep rally...same sentiment for the SOTU address.

Wanna give us a cheer? Can you still do the splits? How much will photos of you in your cheerleader outfit cost?

 

[unclehobart]

Do you still have the pom poms? *drool reflex

 

[Rose]

No splits. No cartwheels. But I bet I can find at least a couple old uniforms ... pm me with bids.

 

[Professur]

If there aren't any cartwheels, I'm not interested.

 

[unclehobart]

Will you at least wear your hair in side ponytails?

 

[chcr]

Wasn't there a thread once about the State of the Union address????????

*Hence the name of the forum*

 

[tonksy]

not even a paltry half cartwheel thing? surely you can do that?

 

[paul_valaru]

wait, bush did cartwheels during the state of the union address?


did he say anything unexpected? I'm just curious, I don't want to read any transcripts, I'm too lazy, was it the status quo speak

strong, fight terror, stand tall, god?

You too? Hehe....doshed me pompoms for 3 years back in highschool......seemed like a good idea at the time
