Same old song

Bush's State of the Union address played like a greatest hits of empty policy promises -- while the Dems clapped and frowned in disunion.

    How am I supposed to feel if I'm Middle Eastern?

    I hear about spreading the seeds of freedom and ending totalitarian radical Islamic rule, I'm excited, right? Assuming I'm not a radical Islamic cleric, I guess. But about 30 minutes later, when I hear the president chastising his nation for its dependence on foreign oil, and basically saying we're gonna make the OPEC countries drink their oil, how am I supposed to feel? You want to prop up a government on me, and then completely eradicate our entire economy...good plan. And our country is supposed to support itself how, exactly?
