This election is going to be very interesting. Sorry for derailing...

He stood up and called the white elephant out this time... Told them he would veto their earmarks... I think it is a strong statement and if he does it way to mark the end of his term....
It may be that Nothing happens on Capital Hill until after Bush leaves since earmarks get put in every bill... He wasn't bluffing about Osama and Iraq, so he isn't going to bluff this time.
I like how the Dem response was to pretend that it was not partisan. The childrens health care bill was full of pork, pass a bill that will help the children not your reelection chances...
On energy lets getting something done, I agree so lets get some new nuclear plants going...
If you want to bring the troops home, then vote it so... Congress can vote to bring them home, but would all rather talk about it... If that is what you believe do it...
The Dem response last year was much better...
If they are ready to work together why have they not done it... Last year they cheered about doing nothing for Social Security... Come on...
These guy in congress are as liked less than Bush according to polls... I can see why... Do nothing but complain...
I was hoping for some ideas of what they wanted to do...

As we all know. There's a difference between a Speech and "Actions". From what I heard this speech was basically copied/pasted parts of last speeches. Politics has gotten so far away from what "the people" want it's ridiculous.
Have a bill that gets denied? Push it through again. Denied again? Push it through hidden in small peices inside other bills.
All that aside. He's in his last year of presidency. Screwed up 7 years in a row, why so much concern about the last. I'd have more respect if he had someone else give the speech. Dollar late, Dollar short????
/The exit door is that way Mr. Bush(and the rest of goverment) stage right..
Don't get me started on other members of goverment on both partys.
