"Transcript of President Bush's State of the Union address, 2-2-05 \n\nI missed the first 2/3rds of the address, getting home in time to hear him talk about foreign policy. But from everything I've heard this was his best ever, way better than his inaugural address a couple of weeks ago.\n\nThere were a number of Iraqis in the audience, proudly displaying their purple-stained index fingers to show they had voted in their first free election. Many, if not all, of the Republican members of Congress had the purple ink on their fingers as a show of solidarity. I didn't see any Democrats wearing the purple, but there's always Lieberman and Miller.\n\nI endured the responses by Reid and Pelosi, and they were as inaccurate as expected. Amazing how a stuck-in-the-60's radical like Pelosi tries to present herself as a moderate. Compared to who, Stalin?!?!? Even though they had to prepare their \"responses\" before they heard the president's address, that didn't keep Pelosi from demanding a timeline for pulling the troops from Iraq after GWB gave an excellent reason why he wouldn't propose a deadline. (And I have to admit, he gave a great reason, one I never thought of!) I also got a great laugh from Reid complaining about the deficit, then proposing more spending programs. These two would be more at home trying to sell appliances on the Home Shopping Channel.\n\nSo.... any thoughts from y'all?"
