. . .why, on god's green earth, do the smartest political minds in America, whether they be Democrat or Republican, think this annual speech is inspiring?
Why not talk directly to the people? To tell us to take care of our families. To love one another. To go to work tomorrow and do the best we can. To help at least one person every day who is less fortunate. To enjoy the freedom to simply go to the movies. To enjoy dinner with friends. To live each day like it is your last. To dance like no one is watching. To wake each day thankful that you are alive. To worship as you please, speak what you feel, and assemble without fear. And to remember those that have lost their lives in the past to give us these freedoms.
Heck, Dale Hansen can do it once a year after the "Thank God For Kids" video. Can't a president?
Just make it a 15 minute pep talk for the country. We could all use it.

Now that about sums it all up in a nut shell sounds good.
Now that about sums it all up in a nut shell that we call America sounds good.
....freedom to go to the movies. Check...that's a good one. I did. And I agree--the SoftheU was probably great once...now? It's like a redundant habit...
Is that a phallic symbol?
works for me.
I couldn't agree more, Barry! How very refreshing that would be. I was actually thinking that last night as I watched the WHOLE thing. I believe most politicians in Washington, no matter what they say, are completely out of touch with all of us.
I couldn't agree more, how very refreshing and uplifting that would be...to just talk TO us not AT us.
You're so funny, like they're going to talk to us like we're human beings! "He thinks he's people!"
To Barry's comments--Amen.
seems like the constitution requires it, but like most of the feds, it has become sybolism over substance.
it makes them feel like theyre following the constitution but theyre hearts r from it.
Great post Barry. I think Bush could use a new adviser. You'd be great.
just show me some j anniston picts and everything will be fine
A good speaker has some intelligence and articulation in verbalizing.
Bush has neither.
Can we compare his speeches to Bill Clinton's?
Enough said.
Barry you could have not said it better. These are the values most of us were raised with and need to pass on to our children.
I think America needs a pep talk ... HECK ... I think the WORLD needs a pep talk.
Hey M&M:
If "Scooter" gets his way, Bush will have a new advisor.
