State Of The Union Commentary

My thoughts:

1. President Bush finally sounded like a "Uniter" and not a "Divider" tonight. Wonder why?
2. Yay Congress! Give me that $15,000 health insurance tax deduction. I'll have a $5,000 beer blast with my refund here in the land of the $10 X-rays and $15 office visits.
3. Warm fuzzy immigration talk. The Mexicans will all vote Republican now of course.
4. President Bush must have gotten my e-mail about reducing gasoline consumption and increasing alternative energy uses.
5. Warm fuzzy part again. Heros stand up and take a bow. Our State of the Union is good because Dikembe Mutumbo is tall?
6. Iran: Bush SO wants to bomb that place.
7. Note the complete lack of discussion regarding: Stem cells, abortion, gay marriage, activist judges, gun rights, religious charities, Pledge of Allegiance. Nada thing for the hard core right wingers tonight. They left totally empty handed, except for a passing mention of school vouchers. That's a big change: Total avoidance of conservative social issues.
