State of the Union

You may be right about the SOTU, but I'm not sure you're close regarding 2008. Just because people are tired of Bush doesn't mean they'll vote for a Democrat for President. Currently, the dems don't have a candidate who can take on the RNC big guys. Granted, things will change as the country starts hearing from them, but I don't think Bush will have as much an impact on 2008 as people think. All three of the Republican front runners are quite different from Bush on many levels, and that'll be apparent as the campaign goes on. Despite the mid-terms, American's are still default republicans right now because the DNC is so bad at politics. I think its gonna be Democratic candidate who has to sway the middle, not the other way around. It'll be fun.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't hear your president mention anything about helping to develope New Orleans and helping those that were in the hurricane.

It doesn't appear to me that New Orleans is on the list of priorities.

What do you expect him to do? You can help. Go to Mardi Gras, spend money.

I expect him to send some $$ down there and re-build the wards that have YET to be re-built. We've obviously got the money. Look at how much we are dropping in Iraq. It doesn't make sense that we are all over the world shelling out loot but over a year later, a MAJOR CITY in the UNITED STATES is still looking like a war zone.

His lack of caring for that area while insisting on shelling out money in other countries makes me sick.

Stop defending that fool. How would you feel if YOU were from that area? Would you defend him then? You act like everything that he does is reasonable.

No offense to anyone, but why was he talking about malaria??? Can we get some help in New Orleans. There are a lot of people who have illnesses connected with the contamination down there. (and on the Gulf Coast)

I'm not sure there's much more the federal government can/should do. There's sort of a limit to how much money they can put there, and when it becomes State/Local responsibility.
