I listened on the radio, and also cringed at every mispronunciation of nuclear. Here's a great link from the New York Times that helped me to understand why so many people mispronounce "nuclear." It's a fun article - anyone else catch it last October?

I thought the delivery was characteristically uninspiring - he's no William Jefferson Clinton - but the message impressed me with clarity and purpose. Too bad he is incapable of actually writing that address himself. Unfortunately, I don't think the speech or his delivery had the power to change perspectives on Iraq, or very much else for that matter.

Somehow, at the end of the speech, I was more relieved than energized, more proud than embarrassed.



Edited to correct misspelled word and add disclaimer that link only provides "abstract" version of actual article - sorry.

Bush is not dumb, he just haven't mastered the skills of articulate speaking.

Naw he's not dumb, and his speaking foibles probably do more to endear him to the Bubba club than anything Bill Clinton ever did. Bush is seen as your avg joe who is not part of the liberal elite intelligentsia.

His around the way (not my way or many others for that matter) kind of disposition and temperament is perfect for lulling people into overlooking the true randomness of his domestic offerings in this speech.

He skillfully avoided discussing the economic state of the union by offering tricklings here and there of things that may have sounded good but just don't ring well.

Take your social security out of the government's hands and put it in the hands of wall street. We know that is SO much better, just ask those people at Enron who had banked on their retirement. I'm sure they're real happy they controlled it themselves.

His solution to drug addiction? Go to church and let God save you. I see he's still trying to push his faith-based initiatives and blur the church-state separation lines.

How about the new mentorship program? Become a mentor to a child of a convict. Yeah okay.

Any president that asks the question "Do you have Blacks here" about Brazil is dumb.

i ain't even watchin it...good thing, cuz all i'd do is curse bushie out.

I'll make my voice matter come 2004. The Bushes, OUT.

The speech reminded me
of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels
at the Sporthalle in Berlin, 1943
declaring "total war"
and every1 standing up cheering.
What we saw last night
was a modern Nazi-rally.

But TheMax was "impressed"

I didn't watch his speech.It would have put me to sleep after a few minutes anyway


I have a brilliant idea.Why don't we just send Bush to war with Saddam? Let them duke it out together.

Well this makes you look unintelligent as no President writes his own State of the Union speech.
