are any of you even old enough to vote? and if you are, did you vote?
I voted for Kerry. I would've voted for a steaming pile of dog**** over that beady-eyed elitist fascist mother****er W. Everything he's done has been geared toward making his rich buddies richer at the expense of the working man. Can anybody say "Halliburton"? I could go on and on......

Old enough and did vote.

The point of my post was I just wanted to know who saw it. I love how just because the President is a certain party you don't pay attention to politics for 4 years?

Regardless of whether you like him or not, his actions have a large impact on what happens in this government for 4 years.

To the guy who said he didn't care to watch it....
He said some big...HUGE things, that could have a huge impact on taxes, etc. The fact that you pay no attention makes me think little of your opinion on politics. That was my other point in bringing it up. I didn't like Clinton, but I still tried to stay on top of everything that was going on. Sure it's scripted, every President and person who runs for President says scripted speeches, but regardless, it's some key stuff.

I didn't need to see last nights presidential address, if you are impressed he got one off you're either very leanient, or you are not looking at the innumerate times the man can't spit out a coherent sentence. I don't want my president to be a role model, I want him intelligent.

/\ They just cut Exxonmobil (the richest companey ever and im not using hyberbolie) a tax break because of the Hurricane, and they don't want to spend money on fuel discovery.

Eh, the President is in many ways a figurehead. I would rather the cabinet and his advisors be a genius.

And tons of companies in the Gulf are getting tax breaks. That's a horrible example.

A hirrid example, I don't care if tons are getting breaks, it doesn't make it right, and that they are the richest conglomorate ever makes it even worse.

How about the fact that he repealed a law that said rebuilding efforts have to pay works the prevailing wage in their are? Good enough? Not only did he not help anyone in the Gulf, but he completly f*cked the works who need the cash.

I'm just gonna laugh at that last paragraph. If you had watched the Presidential address, you would know that that is not true. In fact, he is going to make a works progress program similar to the largest works progress program our country has ever had, the one in the 1920's and 1930's that along with the World War was largely responsible for getting our country out of hte great depression. For a Republican President who has normally had a very hands-off policy, that is huge. This program is going to be big, and is going to cost lots of tax money. So "****ing the works who need the cash" is a joke. The entire area is going to be rebuilt by this program, along with upgrades, etc.

Also, the other thing that surprised me (since I know you didn't watch), with all the finger pointing that has been going on, President Bush actually took the responsibility for the problems that are going down on New Orleans. Even though afterwards they were speaking to people at the Astrodome asking them who they thought were responsible, and the overwhelming majority said the Mayor of New Orleans. Bush went on to say that (it's a rough quote) "it is Presidential for the problem and solution", admitting his fault in the situation.

Scripted or not, it was a very important speech, and it makes me laugh that all these people so much "into their government" pay no attention to things of this magnitude.
