"Madam Speaker"

Beautiful words! Rock on, Nancy.

Too bad it all went into the shitter after that.

You did not vote them into law. I did not sign them into law. Yet they are treated as if they have the force of law. The time has come to end this practice.

Yay! No more signing statements! Oh, wait, he's talking about earmarks.

The No Child Left Behind Act has worked for America's children -- and I ask Congress to reauthorize this good law.

What exactly is he sipping out of that glass anyway?

For all other Americans, private health insurance is the best way to meet their needs. But many Americans cannot afford a health insurance policy.

The Boy Wonder has a layover in reality...

For Americans who now purchase health insurance on their own, my proposal would mean a substantial tax savings -- $4,500 for a family of four making $60,000 a year. And for the millions of other Americans who have no health insurance at all, this deduction would help put a basic private health insurance plan within their reach.

And he's gone again....

Achieving these ambitious goals will dramatically reduce our dependence on foreign oil, but will not eliminate it. So as we continue to diversify our fuel supply, we must also step up domestic oil production in environmentally sensitive ways. And to further protect America against severe disruptions to our oil supply, I ask Congress to double the current capacity of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Brilliant! Someone remind me, what business is the Bush family in again?

And we have a shared obligation to ensure that the Federal courts have enough judges to hear those cases and deliver timely rulings. As President, I have a duty to nominate qualified men and women to vacancies on the Federal bench.

Just sayin'. I get to pick 'em and stuff. Uncle Dick said so. He he.

life since 9/11 has never been the same.

There's the money shot! Hot damn, that *never* gets old!

Our enemies are quite explicit about their intentions. They want to overthrow moderate governments and establish safe havens from which to plan and carry out new attacks on our country. By killing and terrorizing Americans, they want to force our country to retreat from the world and abandon the cause of liberty. They would then be free to impose their will and spread their totalitarian ideology.

But enough about Sam Brownback...

My fellow citizens, our military commanders and I have carefully weighed the options.

Military commanders? But you're the *Decider*.

If American forces step back before Baghdad is secure, the Iraqi government would be overrun by extremists on all sides. We could expect an epic battle between Shia extremists backed byIran, and Sunni extremists aided by al Qaeda and supporters of the old regime. A contagion of violence could spill out across the country -- and in time the entire region could be drawn into the conflict. For America, this is a nightmare scenario. For the enemy, this is the objective. Chaos is their greatest ally in this struggle. And out of chaos in Iraq would emerge an emboldened enemy with new safe havens ... new recruits ... new resources ... and an even greater determination to harm America.

If? Would? Could? Are you freaking kidding me?

and continue to awaken the conscience of the world to save the people of Darfur.

This is just f&*$ing insulting. To Darfur, to the world's apparently ignorant collective conscience, and to those of us who can actually identify Africa on a map.

And speaking of maps, does this buffoon even realize that a major American city still lies in ruins, that thousands are still displaced from their homes? Not one word about the Gulf Coast. Disgraceful.
