SOTU Recap (of sorts)

The Shadow Knows... or what he really means to say.

  • First, we must be good stewards of this economy... ignoring of course, the impact of my tax cuts.
  • America's prosperity requires restraining the spending appetite of the federal government... we're in charge but we'll find a way to blame the Democrats.
  • Justice is distorted, and our economy is held back, by irresponsible class actions and frivolous asbestos claims... Cheney's really embarrassed about that whole Dresser purchase thing, it's affecting his options.
  • I urge Congress to pass legislation that makes America more secure and less dependent on foreign energy... We're going drillin'.
  • you and I will work together to give this Nation a tax code that is pro-growth, easy to understand, and fair to all... Don't have a clue as to how we're going to fund the restructuring.
  • It is time for an immigration policy that permits temporary guest workers to fill jobs Americans will not take... This is how we create jobs, right?
  • Thirteen years from now, in 2018, Social Security will be paying out more than it takes in. And every year afterward will bring a new shortfall, bigger than the year before. For example, in the year 2027, the government will somehow have to come up with an extra 200 billion dollars to keep the system afloat... and as long as we spend this amount yearly to invade other nations, we won't be able to fund retirement.
  • We must make Social Security permanently sound, not leave that task for another day... Like we're doing with the debt and by removing sound information from textbooks.
  • For the good of families, children, and society, I support a constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage... Because fags are more of a threat than heterosexual divorce for some dumb reason.
  • Our government will continue to support faith-based and community groups that bring hope to harsh places... Working to eliminate the separation of church and state one whittle cut at a time.
  • because people on trial for their lives must have competent lawyers by their side... Unless they're in Texas.
  • We will pass along to our children all the freedoms we enjoy - and chief among them is freedom from fear... Thanks for the talking points, FDR.
  • Our men and women in uniform are fighting terrorists in Iraq, so we do not have to face them here at home... We're building a sovereign flypaper nation in Iraq.
  • We will not set an artificial timetable for leaving Iraq... So that as we rebuild, we can continue pumping oil.
  • We are in Iraq to achieve a result: WMD Military bases.

other views; here, here, here, here & here.... and the talking points.
