THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
I think I owe it to my high school American History and American Government teacher (two different classes, but same guy teaching it). But I love everything about the President, governement, and stuff like that. That's why I sat through most of last night's State of the Union address.
But I have to say that the whole thing can be half as long if you cut out all the clapping and standing ovations that go on. Maybe they should just limit the number of times Congress can clap. Besides, half the time these people are clapping on the outside and probably totally disagreeing with the Prez on the inside.
As for what he said, he spoke on a large range of topics, but none of it was anything unexpected to me. It looks like we're headed down the path of war with Iraq, Bush is still going full force with his economic stimulus plan, etc. I seem to like his plan better than the one Gov. Davis has set for us Californians to stimulate our weak economy.
But one other lesson my high school teacher taught me was to never discuss politics in an open forum like this one so I'll keep my big mouth shut. If you want to know my thoughts on politics, I guess you'll have to talk to me in person. =)
