Kevin’s Random Thoughts on Bush’s SOTU Speech Part One

First of all this was w/out exception Bush’s best SOTU. It was sensible but bold, kind yet determined, JUST LIKE AMERICA!!!!

Bush mentioned that he still supports a Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. I wonder if this means he will defiantly push for one. ON the same line of thinking, Bush indicated that he believed Americans want each Judicial Nominee to receive an up or down vote.

Bush covered his plans for ‘Personalizing” Social Security for Americans under age 55. Under the plan the President discussed, younger workers will have the option to invest up to 4% of their pay into SS in conservative mutual-fund type investments. I thought The President made a really good case.

No real surprises in Foreign Policy tonight. Bush reiterated what has been policy in this Whitehouse since shortly after 911. America will continue to stand behind and fund Democratic Institutions around the world. It is no matter that many of these institutions will exist in places that are ruled by despots. I thought the President also did not rule out aggravated confrontation with Syria for their support of the Saddamite-Insurgents and Iran for their clear intention to become an Islamic Nuclear Nation.

That’s where I am right now. I’ll blog once more before bed.
