The State of the Union 2006



The 2006 State of the Union was one of the better speeches that our prez has given, in my humble opinion. But it's hard to take these speeches too seriously. After all, State of the Union addresses seem more like a laundry list gathered from various bureaucracies than a speech with political clarity and aim by the prez. I mean, remember when President Clinton was going through the Lewinsky mess and he threw everything into his SOTU address including the kitchen sink?

So in the spirit of the times, here's a parady of the 2006 SOTU. This line is a killer:
"I understand that there is an enemy out there that kills theirselves. My message to the suiciders is that we will hunt you down and kill you."
One word of caution to my fellow Republicans before watching the video -- please have your sense of humor ready.

I guess funny is in the eye of the beholder. You have to admit that the Prez does come up with the turn of a sentence and phrase, not to mention his creativity with individual words -- nukular comes to mind. He would be the first to admit it. Then his wife, and probaby down the chain.

From an LDS point of view, there is a difference between intelligence and wisdom. The devil is intelligent but is not wise.

I like both. Having wisdom to recognize the right course of action and having intelligence to manage the intracacies of an effective ship.
