Bush stubbornly sticks to troop surge

I almost avoided the State of Union Address altogether, but I thought I would catch the chimp at the podium making all kinds of excuses for my things aren't working in Iraq.

As usual he makes a bunch of grandious proposals like healthcare tax credits and pie in the sky ideas about cutting our dependency on foreign oil by drilling for more oil here in America.

I thought for sure Pelosi would have knock Bush over the head with the gavel when she was done calling the gallery to order before Bush started his speech.

Bush was almost to the point of begging for the Democrats and the American people to give him one more shot at salvaging his failed policies in Iraq. It didn't look like he was getting much support from the Democrat side of the gallery.

I think the Democrat Response to the President's State of the Union that was delivered By Freshman Virginia Senator Jim Webb was fantastic. He laid out the differences between the Democrats and the Repugs and basically said the Democrats in the majority aren't going to give the president much room over the next two years.
