The President addresses the state of his delusions

I have to go to a taxpayers' meeting to grumble about a proposed rape of the land here in town so I won't be watching the President tell us about all the wonderful things he wants to do in the next year to go along with that mission to Mars and all those cheap, hybrid cars that have weaned us from foreign oil.

I'm sorry I'll be missing James Webb deliver the Democrats' response.

The blogs will be clogged with commentary and analysis of course.  Tom Watson and Maha Barbara are planning to live-blog the speeches.  And later the Drum Major Institutue will be posting an analysis of how what gets said tonight is going to affect the middle class.  Check in on Tom and Barbara and then read what DMI said so you'll be smarter than everybody else at the water cooler tomorrow.

Hey Lance, you didn't miss much, essentially the Prez wants us to just give him time on Iraq.

Trust him.

Low key and relatively lttle applause (as far as these things go).

Purported love for bi-partisanship given the lie by his reference to the "Democrat" party (I know it's childish fo me, but it's also annoying).

I was also disapponted that he failed to address the "manimal" issue he raised in last year's SOTU.

Webb's speech was dynamite. Two big themes: economic disparity and foreign policy misjudgments (he called the Iraq invasion reckless). I hope you can see it. At Crooks and Liars, maybe?

Yup. C&L has it.
