State of the Union

[Onefast99gsx]

I'm glad someone agrees.... Yeah i'm sure they're not tapping into peoples phone sex conversations. If you have nothing to worry about and are not planning a terrorist attack, then it shouldn't be a bother. They are tapping people that are on a black list.

Yeah, 41%... Next week it will probably be in the 30's give or take.

I didn't watch it but everyone says it went well. I do have to say that I'm not worried about the phonetapping or emails or anything else. Most people don't know it but they have been doing that for years. Other countrys are paided to spy on the people of the US. We then spy on their people for the other countrys gov'nts. It's called ECHELON. I have hours on video on it.

People can spy on me all they want, probably get bored to death with the stupid shit I talk about.

I watched it. Of course it went really well. Our president is a very good speaker. He tells us exactly what we want to hear. However, nothing ever gets done. We have had border security problems with the Mexicans leaking into the U.S. for years. Nothing has ever been resolved of that. I watched it mostly to hear about the energy plan. Bush talked about energy in his first term. Nothing ever became of that. He said the Americans are addicted to oil. I do agree with him on this. I think it will take nearly running out of oil before something gets done about it.

It's my opinion, but i disagree with you on the phone tapping. I think it should be legal. Everyone wants to live in America without terrorism, yet many don't think it should be legal to do such activities such as eavsdropping. We have to do whatever it takes.

He also mentioned heathcare (OF COURSE) as he does in all his speeches. He also said we have to start protecting doctors from meaningless lawsuits. I DO agree with him on this. Lawsuits have become ridiculous.

Bottom line: His speech means nothing to me until something actually gets done.

That's fine that we disagree, it's just my opinion.

But something IS BEING DONE about the energy situation. The NRC is receiving a large amount of money, and will be distributing it to the companies involved with building and maintaining and operating these plants. At my work alone, we already have a huge amount of contracts being worked right now for new plants around the US, as well as many Asian countries, and a few European countries. Westinghouse is only one of the companies out there building plants too. So I'm sure the others also have a lot on their plate, not just us.

No problem ju-on. I'm not against you or anything. Opinions are just that.

I don't know if you guys saw Web Junk 20 on VH-1, but they had one of Bush's old speeches that they slowed down and then sped it up at the perfect times to make him sound like he was drunk off his ass. I'll have to see if I can find the link.

Opie and Anthony (XM) tried doing the state of the union address that way but couldn't quite get 100% right. They needed a reel-to-reel but all they had was digital devices. Kind of had an echo behind it. But it was funny nonetheless.

I guess I could care less what they say in their speeches. I'll believe it when I see it happen. I have never put a whole lot of faith in politicians. There are a few exceptions to this, but not very many.

[Tauni]

I couldn't give 2 shits about the address, but then again I don't vote either. I take what i'm given and roll with it. I've never understood politics, nor have I ever cared to learn more about how all that works. Last person in any office that I liked was Ventura, and that's cause we got money back ;)

I didn't watch it either, but I agree with Allan.

[awd-drifter]

I didnt see it, but was concerned, I agree

Our president is a very good speaker.
BWAHAHAHA! Puh-leez, anyone can read from a teleprompter. Dramatic pauses after every phrase are fucking pathetic. Go back to presidents like Reagan and Clinton and see how they speak.
