Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo

that would have been classic

1/23/2007 9:58:24 PM

First time with democrats around, he can't get funding for much of anything he says, he's in his weakest position for a state of the union ever with his current popularity ratings, he's not going to push it by saying anything significant.

1/23/2007 9:58:24 PM

NBA, Baby Einstein, Walt Disney - WTF is going on here....

1/23/2007 9:58:38 PM

it was hard to follow - he put out a lot of numbers.
something like, umm.... if you make over $16,000/year and you have insurance from your company, then you get a tax cut.
.... or if you pay for your own insurance and you make $4,500.... something..... you get tax cuts.... i dunno

1/23/2007 10:01:19 PM

So he finished with happy time stories for applause instead of policy or direction.

1/23/2007 10:03:20 PM

overall... I'm not impressed.

1/23/2007 10:03:32 PM

he touched pelosi's boob

1/23/2007 10:03:39 PM

yeah.... riiiight.

ok, so to sum up:
- congrats, i have a chick sitting behind me
- going to do some insurance stuff
- more troops
- we got a lot of kick ass people in the US. Tall africans in the NBA, hot mommies who make books on tape, brothers who will jump under a train to save kids, and the requisite soldiers who are awesome

1/23/2007 10:04:55 PM

is he signing fucking autographs?

you can tell who the Freshmen Congressmen are in that audience!

well i make over $16k and have insurance from my company, so lets hope i get a tax cut (although i thought he said taxed)

well they're trying to talk about it now on ABC (the insurance thing), but i wasn't listening

1/23/2007 10:06:41 PM

^^ oh, right - that goes without saying

1/23/2007 10:07:02 PM

Democratic response coming soon

1/23/2007 10:10:11 PM

Fox News showed the President socializing and signing autographs on his way out of the chambers

it was pretty interesting--you could hear everything he was talking to people about

turned to CNN and they weren't showing it

[Edited on January 23, 2007 at 10:14 PM. Reason : adsf]

1/23/2007 10:13:43 PM

k, i went over to Fox News and they're saying "it's generally unanimous that this insurance thing is a bad deal". That's not the tone that I was hearing on ABC, where they were saying it was one of the more revolutionary things he's said in years.

1/23/2007 10:13:57 PM

^^ i think they all showed that.

And ABC commented on it being "a relatively new tradition"

1/23/2007 10:14:32 PM

go go webb

1/23/2007 10:15:21 PM

Its nice hearing a leading national figure talking about the "iraq conclusion"

I'm glad that atleast democrats are thinking about it.

1/23/2007 10:19:53 PM

I'm still not convinced he's not a terrorist.

1/23/2007 10:21:07 PM

ok, did Webb say anything either?


.... i probably should have listened.

Democratic response was short and to the point.

I liked that he said that "we will show him the way" out of iraq if he doesn't do it himself.
