State of the Union Thoughts...
It's quite obvious that W. loves his job. Whether light-hearted or serious, the President was having a blast tonight with the State of the Union address. A few quick thoughts.
I really enjoy the way the President swings for the fences. His aims for the tax code and Social Security are bold, and he is an unabashed social conservative. No conservative can take issue with this speech, save the vague remarks on immigration. I loved the remarks on Social Security, the manner in which the President called upon the words of both Democrats and Republicans. I enjoyed hearing his vision for the Middle East, calling on Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia to work for greater freedom. GWB was just...on...tonight. Three cheers.
In other random news...Joe Lieberman looked lonely. The First Lady looked stunning, as always. I need a Texas girl. John Kerry looked satisfied enough. Was he wearing a Vineyard Vines tie? He's an aloof old lout, but a well-dressed one. The boos and groans on the parts of Democrats were a display of sheer classlessness. Then again, what else did we expect? The GOP, on the other hand, seemed very fired up. It can't be a bad thing.
More commentary to follow, I'm sure, here and around the blogosphere.

Missed it Matt. Now, if only you would have provided a link to a transcript... I guess I'll have to look it up and read it. From your review, it sounds like he was solid tonight. Great for the Party, but even better for the country.

The speech was brave and fearless on his thoughts for our future and the future of democracy. And I heartily agree. But is it just me or does it bother anyone else that W is promoting a Palestinian State along side Israel. That's not what the Bible says or what God has in mind for that area.
First of all He curses those that curse Israel. (Gen. 12:3).
Second He promised that covenant land to Israel forever. (Ezek. 47:13-21).
