Take on the State of the Union

I haven't given the official TOR take on the State of the Union yet, in part because I wasn't nearly as impressed as the liberal media was because at the end of the day for a guy who is about hope this felt a little too much like W bashing. Now don't get me wrong W is to blame for most everything (Iraq, economy, deficit, global warming, Jets losing in the playoffs) but after 365 days the American public doesn't want to hear it. Just like nobody should give Donnie Walsh a pass a couple of years later just because Isiah Thomas ruined the Knicks. You get a pass for a little while but as soon as you put your stamp on the team or country it's your baby.


I did like him taking the Senate to task for their ineptitude and honestly this 60 to 40 supermajority necessary for ANY progress is a bigger hindrance to democracy not getting rid of Patrick Ewing that final year. Isn't democracy supposed to be 'majority rules'? The Dems are chicken-shit and afraid to fight and the GOP has decided it's patriotic to try to sink the ocean-liner with 300 million people on-board. It's criminal that we are all held hostage by these people.

The Dems problem is that their leadership feels like that of the Garden in the 90's

Harry Reid is a guy who should be sitting on a porch talking about the old days while chewing on hay. Pelosi looks like she's sending messages to another planet with that incessant blinking and Biden looks like he is having his brain fried through the solar panels on the caps of his teeth.
