We already know two topics that will figure prominently in the President's speech.
- Stimulus - GWB will be using the forum to call on Congress to pass the Economic stimulus bill. This bill is the bipartisan initiative to borrow an additional 150 billion dollars from the Chinese (which will add to the debt burden our children will shoulder) in order to fight the perceived threat of a recession which does not exist yet and probably never will happen with or without the stimulus bill. But it does have bipartisan support from our Congressional representatives who are up for reelection and are falling all over themselves to send checks home to voters in a an election year. So - done deal.
- FISA - GWB will blame the Democrats for not yet renewing the hastily modified and ill considered version of the FISA Surveillance Bill that simultaneously expanded the power of the government to eavesdrop on Americans, while setting the precedent that it is acceptable for Telecom companies to violate the rule of law when asked by the executive branch to do so.
With that, I offer the 2008 final George W. Bush State of the Union DWSUWF Theme Song:
Georgy Girl Boy
By The Seekers
Hey there, Georgy boy
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there
Inside you
Hey there, Georgy boy
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try
Or is it the clothes you wear?
You're always window-shopping
But never stopping to buy
So, shed those dowdy feathers and fly
A little bit
Hey there, Georgy boy
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see
A new Georgy boy
Hey there, Georgy boy
Dreamin' of the someone you could be
Life is a reality
You can't always run away
Don't be so scared of changing
And rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf
A little bit
Hey there, Georgy boy
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see
A new Georgy boy
Hey there, Georgy boy
Wake up, Georgy boy
Come on, Georgy boy
Wake up, Georgy boy

Wake up, Georgy boy
