The line up is Wednesday, February 2

RG- its so important! He is going to be talking about major domestic reform. Everyone always criticizes the pres that he doesn't focus enough on home- well he is tonight!

it wont change anything, believe me.
not unless he pledges to close all the borders from the illegal immigrants.

he just cant fight a successful war against terrorists while he leaves the back door open for them with a welcome sign...

So take action girl!! Lobby the man! Write letters, get others too. You can make a difference.

I agree with you by the way. I also think the airlines need to be revamped and yes, profiling must be done!

IY"H! I think a lot of it is really do able.

I have another idea for social security! People need to start having more kids so that more people will be paying in.

That hug btw was a tear jerker!

freilich- what are doing listening to the state of the union address? Very Happy

sarahd- he spoke about his plans to reform social security, plans for terrorism, and he even mentioned the words "closing the borders!!!" not that it will happen in a million years, but no politician before has even said those words.

Its a start- first they have to even admit there is a problem! I don't care what those dems are saying today about social security... I love the idea! I would happily volunteer to be a test run with the new plan! Its not even a new plan... congress has had it for a long long time. I am so glad the president called the congress out on that.

Did you see the hug between the Iraqi woman and the mother of the fallen solider? Oh my gosh... I was crying so hard. It was so powerful. It said it all! I wish the Dems would focus on that!

BTW- you can still see it on http://c-span.org if you want to watch it.
