Führer’s SOTU

Bush’s SOTU projected by Froomkin:

"A leader with an obligation to lead at a time that requires leadership …"

Living in a different timezone and with a historically reduced urge for a Führer, I´ll be sound asleep when Bush tries to sell his reality of a state of the union.

I guess I will miss just as much as last year, when the whitehouse marketed these talking points:

President Bush laid out ambitious goals for the future, behind which all Americans can unite, and urged the Nation to move forward with the work that needs to be done this year:

  1. Growing Our Economy and Renewing Great Institutions
  2. Saving Social Security for America ‘s Future Generations
  3. Protecting America ‘s Families and Promoting Compassion Across the Nation
  4. Making America Safer with Decisive Action to Win the War on Terror and Spread Freedom

Well, they didn´t had those links when they put it up, but then, it always was only their reality.

S.O. will watch so I don’t have to; then I’ll turn on to see Tim Kaine.

re Putin – wonder what he meant by this ..
In reply to a western reporter Mr Putin said: “We know better than you what happened in Andijan.
“We know who trained the people who ignited the situation in Uzbekistan.”
