Bush's State of the Union
Personally, I didn't have the stomach to listen Bush's speech last night. Greenpeace USA executive director, John Passacantando did, and he doesn't mince words in his blog about it:
Tonight the President was in classic form, grinning and winking like he had just pulled off a great fraternity stunt at the Delta House… not acting like the first president in US history to start and oversee the loss of TWO wars. A President who fueled a Holy war and put our young people in front of shrapnel with the cavalier attitude of a man who has never done an honest day’s labor.
The Washington Post also fact checked key statements in Bush's speech.

And now that we are almost done having to put up with Mr. Bush, we are staring at those who will be running for his job, and hearing their talk of recession, of restoring our country's financial stability, which granted is important, but very few times have we heard them talk about bringing our troops home, and stopping the spending on this terrible war. Ah yes, Mr. Bush wants to send troops to Afganistan? Were does the maddness end? We once were willing to give our lives for our country, but now, you wonder, really wonder, is it worth it? We once believed what our leaders told us, today we can't. We can't believe and trust that what our own government officials are telling us anymore. Shutting the mouths of our scientists who are warning us of what we have done to the environment, to our planet, that is now turning on us, sacrificing the future of our civilization for the sake of financial gain. Sometimes you feel like running away and hiding in a cave away from it all, yeah right!
