i very much appreciated the final admission that americans are addicted to middle eastern oil.

though his incentives in that direction were weak, the verbage opens the gate to a new paradigm of thinking in regards to solving our energy issues.

it's about time.

problem solving is where americans shine thier brightest.

two words : nuclear plants

you have to deal with the tree huggers, and nasty byproducts to get rid of, but it saves millions of tons of oil, and you actually get much less pollution. (unless the thing start to glow green !)

worth the risk IMHO.

the only reason you don't have enough nuke plants is because the oil lobby (wink wink nudge nudge) always gets in the way.

not to mention fuel cells akin to the ones used in the space program, the technology has been around for decades but no real attempt to make it more widspread has been made. same reason, oil interests would not allow it.

his actions speak louder than his words ...

for the past 5+years, I am in agreement with the man's actions and how he has lead this country

it was obvious though, the left doesn't have anything  "left" - no agenda, no course of action, zero direction for the country - only the Micheal Moron mindset "Bush is Wrong" mantra which has served them so well since we showed them the door in '00. For that, I am very happy :)

I bet he didn't say "cheeseburger" much either.

Why would he?

If I were the Pres giving the state of the union address I would say to my party, "Listen....applaud all you want.   But I do not want three dozen standing ovations during my speech."

I find it comical, and could not stand it after 5 minutes.  I am not sure when the practice started, but I can rarely make it through more than 5 minutes of any state of the union.  Regardless of the speaker.

Actually Sheehan wasn't the only one who was ejected from the house gallery for protesting. In today's news of the weird, the wife of the House Defense Appropriations subcommittee Chairman was also ejected:

WASHINGTON — Cindy Sheehan, mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq, wasn't the only one ejected from the House gallery during the State of the Union address for wearing a T-shirt with a war-related slogan that violated the rules. The wife of a powerful Republican congressman was also asked to leave.

Beverly Young, wife of Rep. C.W. Bill Young of Florida — chairman of the House Defense Appropriations subcommittee — was removed from the gallery because she was wearing a T-shirt that read, "Support the Troops — Defending Our Freedom."

She was sitting about six rows from first lady Laura Bush and asked to leave. She argued with police in the hallway outside the House chamber.

"They said I was protesting," she told the St. Petersburg Times. "I said, "Read my shirt, it is not a protest.' They said, 'We consider that a protest.' I said, 'Then you are an idiot."'

But we're not addicted to ME Oil.  We purchase less than 1/5th of our oil from the ME.

Most of it comes from Canada, Venezuela, Nigeria.  So cutting our reliance by 75% of ME oil isn't as grandious as it sounds.

Now, if he would have said we are addicted to oil, period, then OK, he's got a point.
