what was your reaction to the State of the Union address last night?

I disagree with at least 95% of Mr. Bush's policies.  My reaction is even more determination to support Democratic candidates in the fall elections.  We need a balance of power in Washington!

I loved the Busta Rhymes performance, I know I pissed my neighbors off, I was so crunk. I wish I could have been there.\n\n\n(I also did not like that "you people" phrase, GROW UP!!!)

I believe they won. I have talked to alot of people that feel voting is a waste of time because of the past elections.\nThe sad truth is these people would vote Democrat.\nI pray I am wrong but alot of people feel the last Bush/Republican elections were stolen .\nThey did not scare them but make them believe they had no voice.\nBy the way Bush choose to ignore N.Korea.\nAnd if taxes are not raised how do you propose we buy back AMERICA from the foreign investors that we are in debt to because of the current Administration. Hate to tell you but as of right now America is not owned by us due to our huge deficit.\nSo you can keep your money with a Republican Administration but what are you going to do when the foreign countries come to foreclose on the USA????

I got teary eyed and am also sad that it is really over.\nI am not going to listen to those people who were not fans.\n\nI don't know what I am going to watch on Monday nights since it is over.\nIt was nice to see Barry Watson and Jessica Biel one last time and I liked the flashbacks at the end of what they looked like when the show first started.

It was great.\n\nHere in Los Angeles, the roads were clear & the smog levels were low.\n\nGet rid of the illegals permanently!!

I personally found it to be amusing, after I recovered from my initial incredulity and indignation.  Though it wasn't quite as offensive as President Bush promising a millionaire that the government was going to help him rebuild his house ;)

I admit that I feel a bit used by our President. I voted for him, after a personal struggle of decision, because I opted for any chance at right to life issue passage. Yes, it seems he has not followed through as ardently as I would have hoped. But you, questioner, seem more upset than I am. It seems, though, that with any politician, from any state, red or blue, from any party, in the end must negotiate, and no voter seems to get exactly what he/she wants done. Such is life. \n\nCome, Lord Jesus, And right soon. \n\nGood question. \n\n<><

My new favorite, "I voted for the lesser of two evils."  \nSheesh. (Excuse me while I go put a hole in the dry wall!)\n\nHe's not a good president. I think the mayor from Spin City would do a better job.  I think that President Regan's side kick from his acting days would probably do a better job.  \n\nRRRRRRRRRHHHHGGGGGGG

Dancing and fireworks...\n\nI danced around the livingroom a bit when I heard but not on the 7th... on the 8th... when it was finally determined the Democrats not only had won the majority of the House but also the Senate.\n\nLet's just hope that the democrats are able to FIX some of the mess the Republic party has gotten us into.

You're a guy? Have you looked at your Avatar recently? \n\nI am THRILLED that the Dems won - but I am anxious about Nancy Pelosi being Speaker of the House. There are so many people out there who would be more eloquent, and less threatening to the other side.

Some of the people expressing their thoughts before me has forgotten where their ancestors were from and the ways they got to the USA. Others probably don't know thanks to whom they could eat a salad this morning that they paid a few cents for. A couple of them probably just said "bye bye" to the contractors they hired for a half of the market hour rate to remodel their house and finally could seat by the computer and criticize a little bit the immigrants. What can I say? God Bless America!\nPS: As a Polish legal, but a non-citizen US immigrant, I maybe should not even use my right to free speech here, since some of you said I don't have one. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

Enraged is a more appropriate reaction.  War is the ultimate horror.  Unfortunately, it has been a necessary evil throughout history.  An unnecessary one as well!  The current war in Iraq conforms to the latter and not the former.  What a reckless and disdainful waste!\nThe ignorance of so many of my fellow Americans is what frightens me.  Allowing the perpetuation of this administration (i.e. a 2nd term), to recklessly and capriciously disregard not only international law, but the 'laws of the land', i.e. the Constitution, is inconceivable! Failure to hold this administration accountable is disgraceful as well as shameful.  \n\nThat's what makes me want to weep!

What I liked was the questions some of the press asked. There were the usual kiss-ups, but a couple asked questions like "You have been called a liar, a crook, a scum-bag, a puppet, a degenerate creep and a waste of protein. How will you form a working relationship with those people who called you those things?"\n\nOr even better, after saying that the Republican losses had been a surprise, "So are you saying that you are that out of touch with the citizens of the country that you couldn't see this coming?"\n\nBush did do us a favor though, it was obvious that the Rumsfeld "scape-goat" resignation caught him by surprise. It was several hours later that he had been given a cover story about why he said just a couple of days ago the Rummy would stay as long as he did.\n\nI've said for years that after seeing Clueless George it is easy to understand why his papa likes Dan Quayle.

Being as much of a partisan hack as someone not old enough to vote can be, I was fairly jubilant after Tuesday.\n\nThe big question, however, is obviously what the Democrats do with their hard-won victory.  I wanted to see a Democratic Congress firstly because I believe that the balance of power was being eroded by an overly-compliant Hill, and I still believe that will happen.  And if the Democrats can stay away from corruption and infighting and deliver economic help, progressive policies, and an exit plan from Iraq, I think they'll be able to hold on to their majority for a while.  The truth is that, though divided, America as a whole tends to moderate itself far more than most people suspect.
