I suppose if I want to be a blogger I have to write about the President's State of the Union address, eh? Well, my roommate and I just watched it. I played a game where I drank a sip of water whenever the president said a key word (9/11, Terrorist, Iraq, etc.) and waited...and waited...and waited...for him to say something about New Orleans.

Cindy Sheehan got invited to the State of the Union, but got arrested beforehand (inside the Capital) and wasn't allowed to stay. This is a great way to treat the mother of a fallen soldier. How can they arrest her and applaud the family of the soldier who died last month for 10 minutes? We shouldn't even be in that war, their sons should still be alive, and since there's no avoiding that, their sons should be respected...not arresting their mothers. But maybe that's just me.

Also, I was confused by the "we should make sure everyone gets well educated" and trying to get America ahead in math, science, and education.

Do you know what would help me become educated?? FAFSFA. Money to go to college. But instead the federal funding was CUT. That doesn't help the education system. But once again, maybe that's just me.

At 9:59 he mentioned New Orleans. At 10:00, he finished. Cool, it's not like the city's completely destroyed or anything, no, it's cool. Really. It's not like you could have used this time to tell everyone how New Orleans still really needs help. He's like "We're going to build stronger levees" and I liked that he said he wanted to help the poorer people in the city...I only wish I could believe it.

And now some discussion from Sarah:
starseed4474: "they're terrorists, and the weapon they've chosen is fear."
starseed4474: i'm glad he defined the meaning of the word TERRORist
starseed4474: i was getting confused about that term

starseed4474: "america is addicted to oil"
starseed4474: what america is he talking about...not my america...not like that wasn't the smartest thing to say, ever
aLiEn14217: I was confused-it's not like Bush has ever been in the oil business or anything
