Day 3- The Speech

I made sure not to miss Presiden't Bush's speech. I was very excited to hear what he wanted to do with our country. He did say quite a lot of stuff but only the end of his speech was really worthwhile.

Bush stressed health care (him of all people). But he never really talked of how he would accomplish the things he promised in his speech. I wish he really could have talked what we need to do to solve our critical problems here in America. I do not care to hear him say, "We've got to do this, we've got to do that,". I really wish he'd tell us how, that might even buy him a few votes from the people who, you know, expect change.

Do the people out there really want to listen to this guy and just assume he has a plan? He says this needs improvement, so we'll just leave that to him. He's had four years. Why does he deserve four more? What is his defense?

"Well, when I promised all that stuff in 2000, I assumed that I'd have eight years to do it in." That's not the way it works. We can easily throw you out after four. The American people should expect something more to be done after the first term. If very little has been done, why would we expect him to get it done in another four years?

But, really, the last part of his speech was genuine. It was more heart felt and didn't let the crowd keep intrrupting him every 2 lines. If you'd like to, read the his speech here.

But Bush yet again, forgets where each one belongs, and indirectly tells America that he is on a mission from God. Okay, what does Reverend Bush have to say this time?

He spoke of a calling from beyond the stars (something very similar to this, I can't find exact text). From beyond the stars, huh?

How can he not excpect the opposition to think this sounds a little like a holy war. The Christian States of America vs. Islamic Extremists. No matter for what cause, religious politics has been and can be very dangerous.

President Bush made great promises and therefore, possibly putting more challenges and critiscism to live up to his promises to the American people.
