Author Topic: Bush Speech Tonight (Read 622 times)

Lotta speculation on what is gonna be said tonight.

I have heard everything from an apology(lol) to troop drawdowns. What kind of media do we have these days when the President doesnt automatically get tv time? I remember last time they just cut him off at the technology part of his speech.

"Three of the four broadcast networks had yet to decide late Monday whether they would carry President Bush's speech on Iraq Tuesday in front of soldiers in Fort Bragg, N.C. By then, only ABC had said it would carry the address."

8 pm Est....

Media is probably reacting to the staging of the event, not that these things aren't typically just PR opportunities regardless of the setting. Another "Mission Accomplished" dog & pony show though, with a background of grunts instead of the carrier landing and flightsuit.

You trying to be cute Sandy?

How much effort would that take and how tired would he be afterwards? Far more interesting than whatever Bush has to say (and more honest as well).

LOL!

A little bit of alcohol and a funny hat, and I'm set.

i figured out a great drinking game. every time the prez says "freedom", or "liberty" you drink a shot. if you play with hard liqure you can only play for 10 min lest you succom to alcohol poisoning.

PS
i find it insulting when polititians mislead the public. people who do that are abusing public office. i say line em up against the wall and cause them accute lead poisoning.

We did something similar for the debates. We survived maybe 30 minutes of it before the first person threw up and we called it a night. Hearing the words "I have a plan" makes me sick to my stomach now. Political drinking games are a fast track to kidney failure.
