Tonight, President Bush will issue what will thankfully be his final State of the Union address; but, little of what he says can be trusted.
For the past seven years, we have watched as America has moved steadily backwards. We have become a nation that is less free and less fair. We have become a nation that no longer values the right to privacy and has tragically retreated from our cherished foundations.
Nothing George W. Bush says tonight will change the sad reality of the America he has given us:
- Our economy teeters on the edge of recession while property taxes spike and homeowners are losing their homes at record levels;
- Our educational system is broken and our teachers are abandoned;
- Our roads and bridges languish in disrepair, while our borders and ports remain under-inspected and insecure;
- Our most basic ideals about law and justice have been tossed out, as our President uses fear to pursue his reckless agenda; and
- We remain mired in Iraq ? a war built on lies and manipulated intelligence.

look on the bright side...at least now - in fifty years - people will look back and they will say "Jeepers! That President Nixon really wasn't so bad. He got in trouble for doing stuff senators do every day - and when he got caught - he dropped out of office...How Noble! He didn't try to cover it up or lie to the public, Ala Clinton/Bush, etc...he just resigned"
Time has this funny habit of giving us perspective. I'm hoping in a few years, i'll look back at the sad state of THIS union and laugh... -
You're absolutely right Carolyn. I haven't listened to anything he has to say for well over a year now and won't bother tonight either. I've been lied to enough.

President Bush doesn't lie, he just wraps the truth inside layers and layers of bullshit until it can no longer be discerned.
You made a great point, jonnat17--compared to Bush, Nixon looks like the model of integrity. If the Watergate scandal had happened today in this administration, there would be no talk of impeachment or resignation, and the story would be gone in a matter of days.
