To summarize:

(Applause)
Terrorist, terrorist, terrorist
(Applause)
Pretend economy is getting better
(Wild applause from Republican side)
We have to give back rights to citizens we took away in the patriot act
(Applause from left)
So lets vote to keep them from having those ritghts
(Applause from right)
Don't be gay
(applause from Right and 2 on left)
In conclusion
terrorism, terrorism, terrorism, hate gay people, god bless Te... I mean, the United States
(Smirk from Bush)
(wild applause)

I was left wondering after the speech if he is really stupid enough to say things, especially about the economy, that completely aren't true. Sure we've gained a few jobs... leaving out the fact that we've lost 3 million over seas. AND, we want to bring in Mexicans to take jobs that "Americans are unable to fill" meaning, they can legally pay Mexicans less than it costs to live in the united states, and give the corporations who do that tax breaks. Education was a joke. No Child Left Behind, as I have WITNESSED PERSONALLY doesn't help in the classroom. It means no child is left UNTESTED. They pour plenty of money into unrealistic standardized testing and not into programs that will actually help children. Putting a multiple choice test in front of a chimpanzee probably won't do a lot of good. Nor will it help a student who can't read.

Bush, to me, is like the rich kid playing with daddy's toys while he is away.

Please, God, find an adult to be the president for a change before things get worse!
