State of Union Address Deemed Amazing
February 2nd, 2005
Amazingly Troublesome
“My budget substantially reduces or eliminates more than 150 government programs that are not getting results, or duplicate current efforts, or do not fulfill essential priorities.”
Amazingly Ridiculous
“Tonight I propose a three-year initiative to help organizations keep young people out of gangs … and I am proud that the leader of this nationwide effort will be our First Lady, Laura Bush.”
Amazingly Hypocritical
“Soon I will send to Congress a proposal to fund special training for defense counsel in capital cases, because people on trial for their lives must have competent lawyers by their side.”
- George W. Bush, State of the Union Address, February 2, 2005
