Johnny Lead Foot here, and I'm taking on Bush's State of the Union...

John continues an 8-part series that explores President Bush's addresses to the U.S. population called State of The Union, from his first inaugural speech in 2001 to his State of the Union in 2008.  John brilliantly pastes Bush's words.  Just his words.  He left it up to us to figure out what to make of them.  I had to comment on our General's comments.  Enjoy.  The bold is necessary for my fury, especially since we're a few months out from Iraq's invasion.

"During this session of Congress, we have the duty to reform domestic programs vital to our country; we have the opportunity to save millions of lives abroad from a terrible disease. We will work for a prosperity that is broadly shared, and we will answer every danger and every enemy that threatens the American people."  Except China, Iran, North Korea, poverty, energy crisis...

"...our faith is sure..."  Our?  Your?  Both are questionable.

As a countdown to Bush leaving the office of the President of these United States, we at HAWT will look back at his addresses to the Union in an 8-part series, starting with his Inaugural Address in 2001 and ending with his State of the Union in 2008. 

"Political rhetoric."  It is empty, hollow and is rarely followed through on.  Of course, we all want schools to be better.  We all want the economy to get better.  We all want lower taxes, added safety.  We all want those basic things that political contenders blabber about... and when they get into office, they continue to blabber.  It seems like blabbering is politicking.  Policy-making isn't politicking. 

Knowing how everything has turned out for Bush's stay at the helm, let's look back at George Bush's choppy, poorly delivered political blabber.  In this series, you will see cherry-picked excerpts of George W. Bush's speech.  These are all his
own words.  There are some gems in here.  A new entry in the series, State of the Union, will appear on the first of every month until January 1, 2009.
