I only saw a snippet at a bar, normally try to avoid it. All that standing and clapping over a bunch of lies like "I'm going to double funding for teaching physical sciences", something like that. George Bush doesn't double funding for anything except war.
Then he said a doozy like "we are a better nation now, violent crime is down, and welfare recipients are cut in half".....right, because he and Clinton cut them all from the rolls.
His call for getting more AIDS money to the states: another lie. He talks about AIDS in every SOTU and never backs up his words with meaningful action.
As for Cindy Sheehan, she rocks my world. I don't care who she is aligned with; she is an ordinary person who has a personal reason to be against this unjust war, and works her ass off to do her part to end it. TIME got it wrong, she was 2005 person of the year.
