Post President Bush's State of the Union 01-23-2007
Seems like he really sucked up to the Democrat's this time..

But in all honesty, I think he did a great job. He did side the Democrat's in many way such as healthcare, environment, and so on. But these reforms may also be against the way the Democrat's may have wanted them to be enforced...he wants to cut taxes or offer tax benefits (which I agree with) to carry out these benefits.

What do you think??

I don't think he really sucked up at all. It's just that he can't get away with sticking to the far right conservative base anymore. He's gone more with rank-and-file conservatives.

He definitely delivered it well, but it seemed like all talk and relatively little action. There's NO WAY he's going to try to convince insurance companies or big oil from scaling down their profits. The bit about Iraq and the escalation was mostly rhetoric, but that's to be expected.

I'll believe it when I see it.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
