Isn't that a shame? A speech as important as telling the country whats up should be written by the giver, imo. Sure hes got a hand in it, but some aide put that shit together.

Modern politics are ass. Im sick of this system but it's the best there is, i guess

lol, you think Bush is the giver? He doesn't make the policy, he just implements it (he's not that ingenious you know...)

Anyhow, I tolerated most of the speech, it was aight.. partisan rhetoric as expected.

I was pissed about the stem sell issue too.

I don't watch it because reading a transcript is much faster, but nothing unexpected or particularly interesting was said.

Basically it was boring and repetitive and didn't tell you anything you shouldn't have already known. If you didn't watch it you didn't miss anything.

Haha you greatly over-estimate the knowledge of the average TA/CORwhore

You are right tho, anyone with half a brain wouldn't have gotten anything new from it.

Well that's why I said "shouldn't of already known" rather than "didn't already know."

Rarely do any presidents write their speeches entirely on their own.

And most presidents speeches are boring to the point of biting your own face.

Its all rhetoric.. of course.. do you expect much more?

You haven't been around long enough to hear other stupid presidents speeches have you? Or heard the bullshit speeches of other countries leaders? Talk about propaganda...
