Title: State of the Grab Bag Address 2008
Post by: ReardenSteel on January 28, 2008, 07:42:48 PM
Michelle Malkin has "Electile Dysfunction" and it's contagious.  :o  :(

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/01/28/state-of-the-grab-bag-adress-2008/

Quote
The White House sends along this handy online guide to all the spending initiatives to be unveiled today. On top of stimulation-palooza, we’ll hear about:

Quote
“Supporting A Compassionate Foreign Policy: President Bush believes freedom can only be advanced if the United States does its part to eliminate the hunger, disease, poverty, and illiteracy that creates despair and allows violent extremism to take root.


 :bs:

Quote
He will reaffirm the United States’ commitment to work with the other major economies and through the UN toward an international agreement on climate change that can slow, stop, and then reverse the growth of greenhouse gas emissions through actions by every major economy.

 :bs:

Ugh... just hit the link to see some of the other things Michelle outlines. It's to depressing to do so here.

However, I got a smidgen of hope from Malkin's WH link so there will be fractional good news to go along with the avolanch of bull**** spending promises.

Quote
Eliminating Wasteful Federal Spending: President Bush will issue a pledge to veto any appropriations bill Congress sends him that does not cut the number and cost of earmarks in half. He will also issue an Executive Order on Tuesday, January 29, directing Federal agencies to ignore any future earmark that is not voted on by Congress.


That's not nothing. But it's close.  ::)

I got a kick out of that because it will drive the libs nuts.  The only problem I have with President Bush is that every time he opens his mouth, I know it's going to cost money.

My few remaining recommendations all relate to a basic right of our citizens--that of being represented in the decisions of the government.

I hope that the States will cooperate with the Congress in adopting uniform standards in their voting laws that will make it possible for our citizens in the armed forces overseas to vote.
In the District of Columbia the time is long overdue for granting national suffrage to its citizens and also applying the principle of local self-government to the Nation's Capital. I urge the Congress to move promptly in this direction and also to revise District revenue measures to provide needed public works improvements.

The people of Hawaii are ready for statehood. I renew my request for this legislation in order that Hawaii may elect its State officials and its representatives in Washington along with the rest of the country this fall.

For years our citizens between the ages of 18 and 21 have, in time of peril, been summoned to fight for America. They should participate in the political process that produces this fateful summons. I urge Congress to propose to the States a constitutional amendment permitting citizens to vote when they reach the age of 18.

-President Eisenhower, January 1954.
